  • Mount Longonot National Park

    Mt Longonot is a volcanic mountain located 73km from Nairobi. It has an altitude of 2856m and has been dormant for over 200 years. This trip begins at 6.00 am where your driver will pick you up from your hotel. After driving for an hour you will take a break at the Great rift valley view point for pictures. Here you’ll be able to view Mt Longonot and other features on the floor of the Rift Valley. The drive then continues for 30 more minutes before you arrive at the mountain. You will then start the hike up the mountain with your guide. The hike is 3.1km from the entrance to the rim where you have a view of the crater. Depending on how you feel once you reach the rim you will decide if you’re able to go around the rim. Enjoy views of Lake Naivasha, Hells gate and Mount Suswa on the hike around the rim.

A day at Mt. Longonot with boat ride on Lake Naivasha

Published on Dec, 2023

Climbing the summit of Mount Logonot was simply fantastic. For those who like to venture into the unknown, on a narrow and often slippery path, filled with sand and volcanic rocks, with a breathtaking landscape, this is what you will get when you get to the summit. Peter my guide was great! Knowing, he adapted to my rhythm, he explained everything we saw, he took the time to stop when I wanted to stop. I recommend that adventure to all!! And the tour with a boat on Lake Naivasha, what a natural wonder! The lake filled with hippos, surrounded by all kinds of birds including fish eagles and cormorants. Without forgetting the Crescent Island, full of animals clearly visible from the boat. The captain took the time to stop at interesting places where I could take photos. He was also able to answer all my questions. Thank you Peter for finding me this captain who surprised me with his knowledge of nature. I recommend this ride to everyone!!

Spectacular views, great experience

Published on Jun, 2023

Really enjoyed the hike. This was one of my favorite activities in Kenya. The views were spectacular and Peter was a wonderful guide. I’m a slow hiker and he was very patient. Everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Amazing trip with Peter

Excellent trip with Peter. He’s super nice and know very well places I recommend highly trips with him

Awesome Tour!

Published on Dec, 2022

My trip was excellent... My driver and guide Peter was very friendly and knowledgeable. When we left Nairobi the weather was a bit gloomy but he pointed out that it would be warmer as we're going to a different region. He was right! At the rift valley view point we already had clear views of the mountain. The hike itself has the most amazing views of the volcano. We often saw animals but my guide made sure I felt safe as its only herbivores. Lunch next to lake naivasha was quite good as I had fish from the lake. The boat ride in lake naivasha was also quite phenomenal with hippos and birds. Highly recommended.
