Nairobi- Longonot National Park
Mount Longonot National Park - Enthusiastic hill climbers and view enthusiasts 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. Depart from Nairobi early in the morning and pause at the Rift Valley Viewpoint to marvel at the wonders that earn it the name “The Great Rift Valley.” Take in the Loita Plains before proceeding to Mt. Longonot for a 5-hour hike around the crater and back down to the Gate. The ascent is steep, so be sure to bring comfortable hiking shoes, light clothing, and drinking water. The hike offers an incredible experience from the top at the crater. There is an opportunity to spot various wild animals, including plain zebras, giraffes, African leopards, and hartebeests, which are often elusive. At the end of the day, check in at the permanent tented camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
Longonot National Park- Hell’s Gate National Park
Hell’s Gate National Park - Depart from your hotel in the morning after breakfast for Hell’s Gate. The morning hours are ideal for hiking along the park’s towering cliffs. Leave the vehicle at a designated point, which will follow behind in case you need a rest. Begin by walking on the well-marked trails. After several kilometers, reach the biking center where you can ride bikes to the rock climbing starting point. Cycling is an exciting adventure, covering seven kilometers before resting at the Rangers post. As you walk and bike, you can spot animals grazing in the wild, such as zebras, gazelles, and giraffes. After resting, leave the bikes for a walking safari adventure that lasts approximately 3 hours. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the gorges, discover the hot springs, then walk back to retrieve the bikes and cycle back to the vehicle’s location. Finally, drive back to Nairobi.
