1 Day Mountain Longonot Hiking Safari

This1 Day Mountain Longonot Hiking Safari in Kenya will lead you to this amazing mountain which is found on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, and visitors can hike this great mountain in only one day. Mountain Longnote is a dormant volcano and it is believed that this volcano last erupted in the 1800s. Visitors interested in trekking to Mount Longonot will need to move about 90 kilometers away from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. Thus, if you are interested in short hikes and exercise, then you can take our 1-day mountain Longonot Hiking safari. Hiking to the summit of the Great Rift Valley’s Mt Longonot allows you to experience the freedom and majesty of East Africa’s wildness. Mount Longonot is approximately 2780m (9100ft) above sea level, with a forested core and a solitary steam vent to the northeast. A day journey to Mount Longonot from Nairobi, Nakuru, or Naivasha is perfect.

Detailed itinerary

Our 1 Day Mountain Longonot Hiking Safari departs Nairobi at 7:30 a.m. and lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes. The ascent begins around 2150 meters from the gate, and like all excellent uphill walks, it will lull you into a false feeling of security with a steady, gradual ascent to the first hill. This allows you to free up your lungs and limbs in preparation for the second portion, which is, in our view, the most amazing. There is a rest stop at the conclusion of each stage for you to prepare for the next leg of your adventure.

The journey begins at the National Park’s main gate, climbing vertically up the dormant volcano for about 630 meters to the crater’s rim at 2776 meters above sea level. The path is fairly steep and jagged in places, and it takes around nine kilometers to circle the rim and return to the entrance. This day trip is a great way to get a taste of mountain conditions and test your stamina before tackling a longer hike like Mount Kenya or Mount Kilimanjaro. Despite going off early to avoid the heat of the sun, you will almost certainly have produced your own heat by the time you reach the conclusion of the second segment. This climb is not easy, but it is doable for people who are moderately fit. You’ll be on the crater’s rim once you’ve completed the second portion. Before tackling the last ascent on the fourth segment, there is another little reprieve of slightly less difficult terrain. This is another difficult segment. As you throw yourself over the crater’s lip, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking view of Naivasha and the Great Rift Valley, as well as a sense that it was all worth it.
