Overview
What this trip is.
Longonot is a dormant stratovolcano rising out of the Rift Valley floor near Naivasha. The climb to the crater rim is a sustained uphill walk on loose volcanic soil, and the view from the top takes in the whole valley.
From the rim you may continue around the undulating circuit or return by the ascent route. This is a demanding, exposed hike rather than a quick city excursion; pace, weather and current park conditions determine how much of the route is practical.
