Morning: Departure & Drive to Mount Longonot
Your day starts with an early pickup from your hotel in Nairobi, followed by a scenic drive along the Great Rift Valley escarpment with a brief stop at a viewpoint for photos. Continue to the base of Mount Longonot, where you’ll register at the park gate, meet your guide, and receive a short briefing before beginning your hike.
Begin the steady hike up Mount Longonot, passing through changing vegetation zones as you ascend. The trek to the crater rim takes about 1.5–2 hours depending on pace. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views into the forest-filled crater. For the more adventurous, continue with a full or partial walk around the rim—an exhilarating but more demanding loop offering panoramic views of the Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha, and the surrounding landscapes.
After enjoying your packed lunch at the summit or rim, Once you’ve completed the hike, relax and freshen up before starting the return journey to Nairobi.
