    Mount Longonot Day Trip hiking Safari departs daily from Nairobi after breakfast and the drive takes approximately an hour. You start the assent at 6000 feet. Like all good uphill hikes it will lull you in to a sense of false security with a slow gentle rise to the first peak.  This gives you a chance to get your lungs and limbs freed up for the second section, which is the most awesome. 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 heat of the Sun but by the time you reach the end of the second section you would have generated your own heat. This hike is not an easy hike but is achievable by people of average fitness. Our guide will accompany you to the top.   As you heave yourself over the rim of the crater your reward is the awesome sight of Naivasha and the Great Rift Valley and you know that it was all worthwhile.  The whole tour is only about 8–9 km long but very steep, so that the round trip of park gate - Longonot Peak - park gate takes around 5 hours hiking.  Hikers need to be reasonably fit to take part on this hike. The magnificent views from the crater rim itself are however worth every painful step and the effort. This day hiking is of moderate difficulty with steep climbing. Terrain has fine dust, with loose gravel in some areas of the hike. You should bring with you comfortable hiking shoes, light clothing and drinking water.    When you get off the mountain, take a break at Mount Longonot National Park headquarters, before heading to Lake Navaisha, where you’ll have the option to purchase lunch at the lakeside Marina Camp. If desired, book a sightseeing boat ride on Lake Navaisha, where hundreds of bird species thrive alongside a population of hippos. Following your time at Lake Navaisha, this tour concludes with return transfer to your Nairobi hotel.

Ein perfekter Trip mit Gracepatt Ecotours, auch am Vortag der Kontakt und die Buchung mit Grace war perfekt. Unser Fahrer Titus holte uns morgens um 6:00 pünktlichst von unserer privaten Unterkunft (bei Freunden) in Nairobi ab. Ausser uns beiden war niemand mit auf der Tour. Nach einer sehr angenehmen Fahrt mit Titus zum Longonok Nationalpark starteten wir schon um 8:00 mit dem local guide Lewis auf den Longonok. Lewis führte uns bis zum Gipfel und erzählte uns dabei sehr viel über die Pflanzen und Tiere im Park, über den Vulkan uvm. Wir waren sehr froh, dass wir so früh gestartet und gegen Mittag als es richtig heiss wurde schon wieder zurück waren. Danach ging's mit Titus weiter zum Lake Navasha - die Bootsfahrt ist absolut empfehlenswert und jeden Schilling (pro person 3000 Schilling, 25 USD) wert. Titus war so super freundlich uns die 6000 Schilling für die Bootstour bis zum nächsten Tag zu leihen, denn wir waren davon ausgegangen, dass wir die Bootstour mit Karte zahlen können. Auch die Rückfahrt mit Titus war sehr angenehm und wir waren nach einer wunderschönen erlebnisreichen Tour ca. um 17:00 wieder in Nairobi. Danke Titus, Danke Grace!

What an experience! Kelvin was an amazing guide, trekking us up the beautiful Mt Longonot. He pointed out various wildlife along with educating us on the trees and flora in this area. He was also a great sport in taking pictures of us at the summit. We enjoyed every minute of this tour (ok so the last few steps were probably not enjoyed because we were exhausted!!:)) This is a great tour that everyone should check out! Spectacular! Thanks Kelvin for a wonderful day!!
