Mount Longonot Hike With Boat Tour
- Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Nairobi hotel/residence at 6:00 AM. 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 free your lungs and limbs 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. You will have started early to avoid the sun's heat, but by the time you reach the end of the second section, you will have generated plenty of your own heat.
- This hike is not easy 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 kilometres long but very steep, so the round-trip from the park gate to Longonot Peak takes around 5 hours.
- At the conclusion of your tour, you will visit Lake Naivasha for a sunset boat ride to see hippos before your return drive to Nairobi.
