1-Day Mount Longonot Hiking Adventure From Nairobi

Summary

Your adventure begins with pickup you from your Nairobi hotel/residence at 6:00AM. After driving for approximately 1 hour, you will begin the ascent at 6,000 feet. Like all good uphill hikes it will lull you into a sense of false security with a slow gentle rise to the first peak. This will give you the chance to get your lungs and limbs freed up for the second section, which is the best section. At the end of each section there is a rest point where you can prepare yourself for the next part of your journey. This hike is not an easy hike, but is achievable by people of average fitness. Your guide will accompany you all the way to the top. The whole tour is only about 8–9 kilometers long but very steep, so that the round-trip from the park gate to Longonot Peak takes around 5 hours. After leaving the mountain, take a break at Mount Longonot National Park headquarters, before heading to Lake Naivasha, where you can purchase lunch at the lakeside Marina Camp(own expense). You can also book a sightseeing boat ride on Lake Naivasha where hundreds of bird species thrive alongside a population of hippos. Then have a transfer to your Nairobi hotel.
