Nairobi- Longonot National Park
Mount Longonot National Park - Enthusiastic hill climbers and sightseers should seize the chance to ascend to the rim of Longonot (2886 m) in the Rift Valley. This relatively young, dormant volcano maintains the classic shape of such mountains, though it is not a perfect cone.
Begin your journey from Nairobi early in the morning. Pause at the Rift Valley Viewpoint to marvel at the wonders that earn it the name “The Great Rift Valley.” Observe the Loita Plains before continuing to Mt. Longonot for a 5-hour hike around the crater and back down to the Gate. The ascent is steep, so ensure you have comfortable hiking shoes, light clothing, and drinking water. The hike offers an incredible experience from the top at the crater. You may encounter various wildlife, including plains zebras, giraffes, African leopards, and hartebeests, which are often elusive.
Conclude the day by checking in at the permanent tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Longonot National Park- Hells Gate National Park
Hells Gate National Park - Depart from your hotel in the morning after breakfast for Hell’s Gate. The morning is ideal for hiking along the park’s towering cliffs. Leave your vehicle at a designated point, which will follow behind in case you need a break. Begin by walking on the well-marked trails. After several kilometers, arrive at the biking center, where you will ride bikes to the rock climbing starting point. Cycling offers a thrilling adventure as you pedal for seven kilometers before resting at the Rangers post. While walking and biking, you can spot animals grazing in the wild, such as zebras, gazelles, and giraffes. After a rest, embark on a walking safari adventure lasting approximately 3 hours. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the gorges, discover the hot springs, then return to collect the bikes and cycle back to the vehicle’s location. Finally, drive back to Nairobi.
