Nairobi to Hell’s Gate National Park
The Great Rift Valley Viewpoint - Depart Nairobi at 7 am and begin the journey to Naivasha, with a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint.
A scheduled stop will be made at the viewpoint on the escarpment’s side to admire the breathtaking view of the Rift Valley floor from a bird’s eye perspective. The Rift Valley system, formed 5 million years ago, extends from the Red Sea through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. This active volcanic area boasts fascinating features, including over eight lakes and the dormant Lake Bogoria geysers.
From this elevated spot, you can see the volcanic Mt. Suswa and Mt. Longonot, with their lush craters and the rolling green Rift Valley floor. The view is simply stunning.
Hell’s Gate National Park - Arrive at Hell’s Gate around 9 am and begin a two-hour biking tour.
At 11 am, explore the park’s gorges, which are narrow land depressions where you can walk beneath the surface. Some areas have formed caves that you can walk through, taking about an hour.
At 1 pm, conclude the tours and return the bikes at the gate. Then, drive to Naivasha Marina Camp for lunch (at your own expense).
Lake Naivasha - At 2 pm, enjoy an optional one-hour boat ride on the lake for bird watching and hippo viewing, reaching the shores of Crescent Island.
At 4 pm, conclude all activities and begin the drive to Astorian Grand Hotel or a similar venue for dinner and an overnight stay.
Please note that, upon request and at an additional cost, an upgrade to a mid-range luxury hotel like Sopa Resort or Simba Lodge can be arranged.
Naivasha to Mount Longonot Hike to Nairobi Drop-off
Mount Longonot National Park - After breakfast, prepare to leave the hotel at 7 am for Mount Longonot with a picnic lunch.
Descend into the Rift Valley and arrive at Mount Longonot National Park for a hike up to the crater. The hike requires moderate physical fitness, and you will ascend through the gullies that mark the mountain’s sides. Rest stops are available at designated points along the trek. Upon reaching the crater’s rim, enjoy the spectacular view below. If you have the energy, you can circle the crater’s rim.
At the rim, enjoy your picnic lunch before descending from Longonot Mountain to the park headquarters at the base. Relax for a while before embarking on the drive to Nairobi for drop-off around 4 pm, depending on your pace.
