- Great Rift Valley - At the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint, there will be a planned stop on the escarpment’s side to take in the breathtaking view of the Rift Valley floor from a bird’s-eye perspective. This rift valley system, formed 5 million years ago, stretches from the Red Sea through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. It is a region of active volcanic activity, featuring fascinating elements such as over eight lakes, both dormant and active volcanic mountains, as well as hot springs and geysers. From this elevated spot, the volcanic Mt. Suswa is visible, with its lush craters and the rolling green floor of the Rift Valley. The view is truly spectacular, so be sure to capture plenty of photos.
- Mount Longonot National Park - Descend into the Rift Valley and arrive at Mt. Longonot National Park for a hike up to the crater. This hike requires moderate physical fitness, as it involves climbing through the gullies that mark the mountain’s sides. Rest stops are available at designated points along the trek. Upon reaching the crater’s rim, enjoy the stunning view into the crater below. If energy permits, a walk around the crater’s rim is possible. Afterward, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant at your own expense. Later, return to Nairobi, where you will be dropped off at your hotel or the airport.
