Mount Longonot National Park - Morning: Departure & Drive to Mount Longonot
Begin the day with an early pickup from your hotel in Nairobi, followed by a picturesque drive along the Great Rift Valley escarpment, including a brief stop at a viewpoint for photos. Proceed to the base of Mount Longonot, where you will register at the park gate, meet your guide, and receive a short briefing before starting your hike.
Embark on a steady hike up Mount Longonot, passing through various vegetation zones as you climb. The trek to the crater rim takes approximately 1.5–2 hours, depending on your pace. At the summit, enjoy breathtaking views into the forest-filled crater. For those seeking more adventure, continue with a full or partial walk around the rim—an exhilarating but more challenging loop offering panoramic views of the Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha, and the surrounding landscapes.
After savoring your packed lunch at the summit or rim, relax and freshen up before beginning the return journey to Nairobi.
