2-Day Mt Longonot and Hell's Gate Safari from Nairobi with Biking

• 6:00 am: Nairobi - Great African Rift Valley

Depart Nairobi for Mt Longonot National Park, passing through the Kikuyu's lush green highlands and then the eastern escarpment of the Rift Valley system.

• 6:30 am: Great Rift Valley Viewpoint

You will make a scheduled stop at the viewpoint on the side of the escarpment to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the Rift Valley floor. The Rift Valley system was formed 5 million years ago and runs from the Red Sea through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. The Rift Valley is an active volcanic area and has some of the most interesting features, including more than 8 lakes and the dormant Lake Bogoria geysers. From this high place, you can see the volcanic Mt Suswa and Mt Longonot with their evergreen craters and the undulating green Rift Valley floor. The view is just amazing, so make sure to take as many photos as you can.

• 7:00 am: Mt Longonot National Park

Drop into the Rift Valley and arrive at Mt Longonot National Park for your hike up to the crater. The hike requires medium physical fitness, and you will climb through the gullies that dot the sides of this mountain. You can make some rest stops at the designated places on the trek. You will get to the rim of the crater and look into the awesome crater below. If you have the strength for it, you can go around the rim of the crater.
