A guided day in the Mount Longonot landscape for travellers who would like a more active Rift Valley experience. The plan is a suitable hike rather than a promise that everyone will complete the full crater-rim circuit.
Your suggested day
- Part 1: Meet at the agreed Nairobi or Rift Valley collection point and travel to the park access point.
- Part 2: Review the route with your guide and hike at a pace suited to your party. The full rim circuit is considered only if time, conditions and individual suitability support it.
- Part 3: Return by the agreed route and transfer to your drop-off point, with enough allowance for the road journey.
Plan the details
Discuss walking experience, heat, water, footwear and the intended route before accepting a quote. Park access, guide arrangements, collection point and any meal stop must be specified. There is no overnight accommodation in the day-trip guide.
Make the pace your own
Tell us your dates, walking preferences, party size and accessibility or dietary needs. We adjust the proposal around the actual overnight base, local access and realistic transfer times. A submitted enquiry does not reserve accommodation or activities.
Guide price and your written quote
The USD guide is per adult for the whole suggested itinerary, based on two adults sharing rooms and ground services where applicable. All flights, visas, insurance, tips and personal spending are excluded. The travel team itemises accommodation, meals, entry fees, guides, vehicles, transfers and any optional activities in the final written quote before you pay.
No hotel. Full rim circuit is optional according to fitness, weather and trail conditions; guide/ranger arrangements and current fees must be checked. No descent into the crater. Airport pickup outside the normal Nairobi zone may cost extra.
