Overview

Rising from the floor of the Great Rift Valley like a monolith is the extinct volcano of Mount Longonot. A unique feature is the thick forest that lies within the crater of the mountain. The crater rim also provides great scenic views across the beautiful Rift Valley all the way to Lake Naivasha. Major wildlife attractions at Mount Longonot include buffaloes, elands, leopards, bushbucks, common zebras, giraffes, and Grant’s gazelles. You can also explore Hell’s Gate National Park, its only park in Kenya, where you will have different options for walking, hiking, horseback riding, bike riding, and game driving inside the park. And on the way to Nairobi, you will have the option of visiting Lake Naivasha for a boat ride.
