This is because Mount Longonot is a stratovolcano rising over Lake Naivasha, hence commanding great lake views.
An enormous caldera lies at its base, and the mountain contains several lava caves on its steep slopes.
We’ll begin our journey in Nairobi early at 5:45 am with a pickup from the hotel or in the CBD. En route to the Rift Valley, we will have a stopover session for a brief about the Rift Valley and the escarpment at the Rift Valley viewpoint.
This opportunity introduces you to the mountain from a distance and enables you to capture an early picture of the great icon, the rift. Soon after arrival at the gate, we will have a briefing, stretching, and checking in for the great experience.
From the gate, it takes between 2 hours to climb and 45 minutes to trek up to the Mt Longonot crater rim.
Nonetheless, the amount of time we spend climbing Mount Longonot will depend on our speed and stamina. That’s why sometimes we personalize by offering pre-hike preparation to each group.
You’ll need a walking stick for the first 3 kilometers or so of the hike since there are steep steps up the first half of the trail.
We will hike through, enjoying each step to the top. After arriving at the top viewpoint, we will go around the crater to Kilele Ngamia, the highest point in Mt. Longonot.
During the hike, our adventure expert guide will give you the ideal spots and moments to see and understand tiny creatures and birds, and the beautiful scenery.

Mount Longonot Day Trip Hiking Tour Requirements:
– A good pair of footwear for hiking; to be more comfortable while hiking, have a pair of woolen socks as recommended by hiking boot manufacturers

– Carry your camera, sunscreen, and a sweater that you’ll be able to remove while climbing.
We’ll give you water; dehydration is a severe problem that should not be taken lightly. At the end of each section, and as needed, sip water.
Sometimes, if you feel you need a hiking thrill, carry a rucksack. This is a bag that allows you to add your weight and feel balanced and stable like a heavy machine on a windy, speedy road. At the top of the rucksack, there’s enough room to fit one liter of water and a couple of sandwiches.
