A Breathtaking Adventure: Mt. Longonot & Lake Naivasha Day Trip - If you are looking for a day that perfectly balances physical challenge with serene nature, this is it. Our trip was insanely beautiful and exceeded every expectation we had. From the peak of a volcano to the waters of a hippo-filled lake, it was an unforgettable experience. We start with a rewarding, high-energy hike up Mount Longonot and transition into a relaxing, scenic boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The views from the crater rim are stunning, but the boat ride was an unexpected highlight—seeing hippos, diverse birdlife, and other wild animals up close was truly amazing. One of the best parts of this package was that all park fees were included. It made the day feel seamless and high-value. The only thing not included was lunch, but our driver took us to a local buffet that was delicious, high-quality, and very affordable. It’s a full, satisfying day. We were picked up at 6:00 AM and made a quick fuel/coffee stop. We hit the trail at 8:50 AM. The hike to the top takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on your fitness level (I took my time at 1.5 hours, while my friend zoomed up!). If you walk the perimeter of the crater, add another 3 hours. We finished lunch by 2:00 PM and wrapped up the boat ride at 4:00 PM before heading home. The vibe is incredibly peaceful yet adventurous. You move from the quiet, rugged terrain of the volcano to the lush, vibrant life of the lake. It felt personal, professional, and very well-paced. We were pleasantly surprised to find this was a private tour! It was just my friend and me with our driver and guide. We had expected a large group, so having that one-on-one attention made the day feel much more exclusive and relaxed. The team made the trip. Jimmy, our driver, was excellent—not only a great navigator but also picked a perfect lunch spot. Dominic, our hiking guide, was fantastic. He was so patient and kind, never making me feel rushed when I needed to take breaks on the incline. Best For • Nature Lovers: The wildlife sightings at the lake are top-tier. • Hikers of all levels: Whether you’re a "zoomer" or a slower hiker, the guides make it accessible. • Small Groups/Friends: The private nature of the tour makes it a great bonding experience.

Awesome experience overall - It was an awesome experience. The Guide Joshua was very vast and patient, the Driver, Peter was also extremely nice and patient. I’d wholly recommend

Climbing Longonot while having fun - Chose this tour based on the amazing reviews on Jimmy and Dominic. Lucky us...one was our driver and the other the guide. We had such an amazing time. Dominic was such a good guide. Had lots of info ..good talk and assistance. Highly recommend. So much fun 🔥💯💯💯

Mount Longodot - Fantastic day at Mount Longodot. Jimny and Dominiek gave us a wonderful experience. 14km of hiking in a unforgettable setting. Topped off with a local lunch (fresh African food) I recommend!

Perfect day trip & perfect guides - I loved this trip - it was perfectly organised & a great combination of hiking and relaxing boat tour. Jimmy was great and we had great conversations in the car. Dominic knew so much about mount longonot too. The hike was quite strenuous but they told me my 4.5 hour timing was a first - and as a 57 year old woman I was pleased and hope others will beat me ;). I do wish I had worn shoes with a deeper grip as the volcanic soil is very slippery. And do carry lots of water and sun screen. Lake navaisha is amazing & was so beautiful. I saw hippo, fish eagles and so many birds. Super knowledgeable guides, great company and simply a great day trip. As I said a perfect combination and perfect guides.

Amazing hike! - It was amazing hike. It's tough but worth the effort. Bring extra water. Jimmy and Dominic were very professional and provided excellent services. I skipped the lake so can't comment on it. The drive from Nairobi was through very congested roads, so expect slow movement and some traffic jams. Other than that very pleasant trip. Definitely recommend it.

Great day with great guides! - It was excellent! It was a beautiful hike with Domenic, who had the perfect mix of telling me about local plants and animal life and letting me do my thing and enjoy nature. My driver, Jimmy, was also excellent! He shared a lot of information too and I appreciated his good driving skills. I also very much enjoyed the boat ride and thought the boat operator, John, was great too. I got to be quite close to a whole family of hippos — which was very cool — and he answered all my questions, and I had many!

Very good tour - Was a great experience visiting Mt. Longonot together with an other guest on a shared tour. They were really competent and friendly. They were on time and were driving safely. So all in all I can recommend this tour!

Complete and varied activity - Very important organisation Thanks to driver Jimmy for his professionalism and knowledge transfer. It was a very good day.

Wonderful strenuous day trip - The guides were really great. The hike to the summit was very nice but quite exhausting... The boat safari was the crowning achievement
