Overview

Mt Longonot is a stratovolcano rising from the floor of the Great Rift Valley, offering one of Kenya's most rewarding day hikes. The trail winds through volcanic ash and lava fields to the crater rim at 2,776m, where panoramic views of Lake Naivasha, the Rift Valley escarpment, and the vast caldera below take your breath away. Experienced guides lead you safely around the full crater circuit — a route few visitors complete.
