Program
Day 1
- 06:00 Nairobi - Great African Rift Valley
Depart Nairobi for Mount Longonot National Park going through the Kikuyu lush green highlands and then on the eastern escarpment of the Rift Valley system.
- 06:30 Great Rift Valley viewpoint
You will make a scheduled stop at the viewpoint on the side of the escarpment to enjoy the view of the Rift Valley floor from a bird's eye view. The Rift Valley system was formed 5,000,000 years ago and the rift runs from the Red Sea through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
The Rift Valley is an active volcanic area and has some of the most interesting features including more than eight lakes and dormant ALake Bogoria geysers. You can actually see the volcanic Mt Suswa and Mt Longonot from this high place with their evergreen craters and the undulating green rift valley floor. The view from here is just amazing. Make sure to take as many photos from here as you can.
- 07:00 Mount Longonot National Park
Drop into the Rift Valley and arrive at the Mt Longonot National Park for your hike up to the crater. The hike requires medium physical fitness and you will climb through the gulleys that dot the sides of this mountain. You can make some rest stops at the designated places on the trek. You will get to the rim of the crater and look into the awesome crater below. If you have the strength for it, you can go around the rim of the crater.

Mount Longonot National Park is a popular park for hiking and mountain climbing that takes less than three to four hours to climb or hike up and down. It is one of the best adventure day trips from Nairobi. The national park is easy to get to and has the best sightseeing opportunities and one can look inside the mountain crater.
Hell’s Gate National Park
Named for the intense geothermal activity within its boundaries, the Hell’s Gate National Park is a remarkable quarter of the Great Rift Valley. Spectacular scenery including the towering cliffs, water-gouged gorges, stark rock towers, scrub-clad volcanoes, and belching plumes of geothermal steam make it one of the most atmospheric parks in Africa.
