Safari – Kenya’s Premier Crater

Hike

Mount Longonot National Park is Kenya’s top destination for crater hiking, just 90 minutes from Nairobi. The trail leads to panoramic views, wildlife sightings, and a rugged volcanic landscape — ideal for active travelers and nature lovers on a quick escape from the city.

ust 90 km northwest of Nairobi, Mount Longonot National Park offers one of Kenya’s most rewarding hiking experiences. Dominated by a dormant stratovolcano, the park invites adventurers to ascend its rugged slopes and walk the 7.2 km rim trail around its expansive volcanic crater. A Mount Longonot hike is ideal for day trips from Nairobi, combining outdoor fitness, breathtaking views, and light wildlife encounters. As you climb, keep an eye out for zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and impalas grazing on the park’s lower slopes.
