Mount Longonot & Lake Naivasha
Trip Details
Begin the day with a pick-up from your hotel or a designated meeting point in Nairobi, then set off on the scenic drive to Mount Longonot National Park in the Great Rift Valley.
Upon arrival, embark on a guided hike up Mount Longonot, a trek that takes approximately four hours to reach the summit. Follow your guide along steep volcanic trails, taking in the rugged landscapes and lush vegetation as you climb.
At the summit, be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the massive crater below, with the vast expanse of the Great Rift Valley stretching into the distance. Take a moment to soak in the scenery and capture unforgettable photographs of this iconic landscape.
After descending the trails, return to your vehicle and continue to Lake Naivasha for a serene sunset boat ride across the sparkling waters. Watch hippos and waterbirds in their natural habitat as the sun casts a golden glow over the lake, creating a truly magical experience.
Following the boat trip, drive back to Nairobi, where guests will be dropped off at their hotels or the designated drop-off point, concluding a day filled with adventure, exercise, and stunning natural scenery.
