Kenya, March 23 -- Hell's Gate National Park in Naivasha was very busy today as the World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally Kenya came to an exciting end. Many people came to watch, which created some challenges.

The park, located south of Lake Naivasha and about 90 kilometres from Nairobi, was where the final stages of the rally took place.

The famous Hell's Gate spectator point was filled with fans eager to see the top drivers race on rough roads.

As the rally ended its third day, lots of spectators gathered to catch the thrilling action. However, many people faced heavy traffic, and there were reports of several accidents on the roads leading to Hell's Gate.

Local sources said that some visitors inside the park around midday had long delays and might not get home until late tonight or even tomorrow morning.

The event, part of the 2025 WRC Safari Rally, highlighted the park's beautiful scenery, featuring tall cliffs, volcanic rock formations like Fischer's Tower, and deep gorges, creating a stunning view for the motorsport event.

On social media, many people shared their experiences, with one user advising, "If you are in Naivasha and want to get home on time, now is the time to leave," because of the traffic and safety issues.

Besides the rally, Hell's Gate is also known for its adventure activities and natural beauty. The park has hot springs and geysers, and people can enjoy rock climbing, cycling, and watching wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, and buffaloes in its 68.25 square kilometers.

Yesterday, park officials highlighted climbing opportunities, mentioning that guides and equipment are available for anyone who wants to climb, whether beginners or experienced climbers.

The end of the rally is an important event for Naivasha, showing that it is a key place for tourism and sports in Kenya's Rift Valley.

However, the day also had its difficulties, as emergency services worked to assist with accidents and reminded drivers to be careful on the busy roads.
