Highlights
  • Mt Longonot National Park - Set out early at 6:00AM to make the most of the cooler morning temperatures. Keep yourself hydrated with the provided bottled water during your trek. You’ll have the opportunity to circle the crater before you begin your descent. Convenient pickup and drop-off are available at Nairobi hotels.\nTo complete a full circuit of the crater rim, allocate an additional two hours, bringing the total hiking time to approximately four hours. Consider extending your adventure with a sunset boat ride on Lake Naivasha to spot hippos before heading back to Nairobi. The trail ascends the mountain with a steep incline that can sometimes be slippery. As such, hikers should have a reasonable level of fitness to undertake this journey. Despite the challenges, the panoramic views from the top of the crater rim are a rewarding experience. The hike is of moderate difficulty and involves some steep climbs. Expect to encounter fine dust and loose gravel on certain sections of the trail. It’s advisable to wear light attire and sturdy hiking boots.

Best experience in the southern Kenya visit. Adventure time 💥 - Mt longonot is a full of information site where we visited early yesterday,.. though the weather seemed to be rainy we made it .. personally..the hiking experience with driver peter was wow with a lot of guide skills.👏👏feels like I would like to visit again and again due to the good view from the high heights above sea level..on the way we could stop ...shop some curios and even eat fresh roasted 🌽 from the hardworking men on the road sides .. the journey was smooth and easy due to cooperation of every one taking precautions due to heavy rains which resulted to flooding of rivers.. therefore I would like to recommend #valleyrockstours as the best tour company to book a safari or any kind of tour👊👊 THANKYU VALLEY ROCKS TOURS 🌞🎉❣️

Athletic workout, scenic nature - Mt. Longonot hike was very challenging, and I could not have finished it without Peter (my guide)’s help. Peter was very attentive and helpful during the entire hike, which made me feel safe. If you are looking for an athletic workout in the rift valley outside of Nairobi, I would highly recommend this hike due to its scenic nature and a sense of accomplishment you will truly feel at the end of the trip.
