Safari summary

The Road trip from Nairobi to Mount Longonot makes sightseeing easy from the car with several view points on the escarpment. As you ascend and descent, on the meandering road to Mount Longonot from Nairobi, the sight of the mountain can be intimidating enough to deter many would-be hikers. However, the hike to Mount Longonot really does offer something for everyone.

The hike up to the Mt Longonot crater rim takes about half a day, though going up the 4.1 kilometres to the rim of the crater can take anything from 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your speed and stamina. You also need a walking stick, as the hike can be quite stiff for the first 3 kilometres or so.
