Day by day
Day 1
Leave Nairobi for the Rift Valley and Mount Longonot, whose volcanic slopes and crater provide the focus for this hiking excursion. The route rises from the park entrance towards the crater rim, with broad views of the surrounding country when conditions are clear. The extent of the walk should match your group and the conditions on the day. Confirm the guide, transport, entry arrangements and return plans with us before booking.

Ask for an itemised list of exclusions and optional activities with your quotation so you can plan your total travel budget.
When to travel
This runs throughout the year. Mornings are generally the better half of the day for wildlife and for the light, and the heaviest rain falls around April and May and again in November, which can affect road conditions rather than the experience itself.
