Mt Longonot, Hell’s Gate, and Lake Naivasha - This was an amazing experience. Hiking (Mt Longonot), biking (Hell’s Gate), and boating (Lake Naivasha) in a 2-day trip. The driver Festus Kazungu took care of everything and made me feel safe all the time. I highly recommend.

Great day - Amazing and efficient day to hike the mountain and see the lake. Great guide who not only answered questions about the area, but also alot about his own country. Great for single travelers who does not want to arrange a car, entry and hiking by them selves. Note that the National Park where the mountain are only let you bring reusable bottles, not single use water bottles.

A truly enjoyable experience, ideal for those with a strong interest in the local ecosystem. - I had a fantastic time exploring Mount Longonot National Park with Safik as my driver and Joshua as my guide. Joshua’s expertise in the local ecosystem, including the park’s geology and wildlife, was truly impressive. He not only provided invaluable insights but was also a delightful travel companion, introducing me to some hidden gems around the mountain. Safik’s company was equally enjoyable, as he was willing to take time to take me to areas that were not initially part of the day’s itinerary. In sum, it was a highly enjoyable experience with the added flexibility to tailor the programme to the client’s needs.

Incredible Day! - I had an incredible experience with this tour company. Denis picked me up at my hotel at 6 a.m., and off he drove to Mount Longonot for my hike. Denis was pleasant. He is knowledgeable. The drive was enjoyable as Denis provides you with information about what you can see along the way. As to my hike up to the crater, I was accompanied by Joshua. Another knowledgeable person you want to hike with you. After the hike, Denis took to me to Lake Naivasha. I had one of the best fish lunch there. Then I did the boat tour, and there I met Nick, who navigated the lake with his wealth of knowledge. I was pleased with the 3 gentlemen who were gracious to show me a part of their country. Make sure to request for them if you ever find yourself visiting Nairobi. Thank you, Denis, Joshua, and Nick.

Perfect day trip to get out of the city - This is a perfect day-trip outing to stretch the legs, see some of the countryside and LOTS of wildlife. My driver, Denish, has lots of local knowledge, drove very calmly/safe, and was nice to spend time with. I also had Joseph as a hiking guide and highly recommend requesting him - really knowledgeable and very pleasant to hike with.

Mont Longonot and Lake Naivasha - By Guide Douglas - The guide (Douglas) was really friendly and helpful. They picked us up at our hotel and then went directly on tour. On the road, he explained and informed us more about the country and it's tribes. Really interesting and entertaining! He was kind all the time, a really good guide and funny at the same time. We visited and did a circle around Mt. Longonot and a boat cruise with wild animals to see and admire! 🐤😁 The experience was exciting and lovely ! I recommend to everyone who wants to start a sportive morning on the big dormant volcano and a relaxing afternoon by the lake on a boat. For the finish, a nice meal ! Miam.

Mount Longonot hike with lake Naivasha boat trip. - The trips starts early, it might seem like trouble, but it makes the trip great ! You get there first and get the chance to see all the animal life before they leave because of seeing people. The Tourguides made the trip worth it! With great conversations during the commute and a lot of motivation to make it up the mountain! They have extensive knowledge about Kenya and I leary a lot ! Great experience!

A good trip if you don’t have much time. - It’s a good trip for holiday. The guide is friendly. The vehicle is good. Cycling time is not very hard. The only pity thing is that the Gorge is closed because of the flooding.
