Crazy story - Fantastic.Absolutely sensational. Especially the tour guide he really understands the terrain and I really learned alot. Admission fees were okay but can be better. Took a while because I wasn't fit enough but it was okay nevertheless. The atmosphere was so good and i enjoyed the fact that we went on a sunny day and it didn't rain. I went on a Tuesday so there wasn't a large crowd so I really enjoyed the exclusively. Best for family and team building.

Stunning Mount Longonot Hike! :) - Dominic was the best guide we could have asked for! He was really entertaining with his sharing of information about Mount Longonot & Kenyan culture. So thrilled that he took us on the full hike around the whole crater. The hike took ~ 5 hours & was more intermediate level. Stunning scenery & one of the best hikes I have ever experienced! Absolutely worth it! :)
