Itinerary

Admission included300 min

Enjoy a scenic drive which takes about an hours' time through the Great Rift Valley, to Mt. Longonot. Upon arrival, a challenging but rewarding hike awaits. Ascending the stratovolcano, trekkers will traverse rugged terrains adorned with diverse flora. The higher altitudes offer a stunning panorama of the surrounding valley and the gleaming lake below. The trek's pinnacle is the crater's rim, where the expansive, well-preserved crater comes into full view, a testament to the volcano's fiery past. Post-hike, travelers have the optional pleasure of a serene boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The waters are a haven of tranquility, home to hippos and fringed with lush greenery. The lake's birdlife is prolific, a paradise for bird watchers, and the backdrop of the looming Rift Valley escarpment adds to the visual spectacle. Each moment at Mt. Longonot and Lake Naivasha is a blend of physical challenge, natural beauty, and serene relaxation, promising an unforgettable one-day excursion.

After the rigorous ascent of Mt. Longonot, travelers are welcomed to the Marina Restaurant, a short distance from Lake Naivasha's shores. The ambiance, though not directly on the lakeside, retains a charm reflective of the nearby natural beauty, offering a comfortable transition from the morning's trek. Post-lunch, the journey continues to Lake Naivasha. As travelers embark on their boat ride, the expansive freshwater lake stretches out, shimmering under the African sun. The water, a theater of natural wonders, plays host to pods of hippos, their massive forms occasionally breaking the surface in languid splendor. The skies are a canvas of avian beauty, with African fish eagles, cormorants, and herons showcasing their grace. The distant Rift Valley escarpment stands sentinel, its silhouette a majestic backdrop. Drifting on the tranquil waters, the boat ride offers a soothing contrast to the morning's hike, wrapping the day in a blend of adventure and serenity
