Description

Start your morning in the most spectacular way possible—by hiking Mount Longonot before dawn to witness one of Kenya’s most unforgettable sunrises. Located just 1.5 hours from Nairobi, Mount Longonot is a dormant stratovolcano known for its steep trails, dramatic crater, and panoramic vistas of the Rift Valley. Begin with an early pickup from Nairobi (around 2:00–3:00 AM) and a comfortable drive to Longonot National Park. Equipped with headlamps and guided by an experienced trekking guide, begin your ascent under the clear night sky and glittering stars. As you reach the crater rim, the horizon bursts into color—shades of orange, gold, and pink illuminating the vast Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha, and surrounding escarpments. Spend time soaking in the sunrise, taking photos, and exploring the crater rim. For those up for the challenge, continue hiking around the entire crater for even more spectacular views. After descending, enjoy a relaxed breakfast stop (optional) before driving back to Nairobi. This sunrise trek is perfect for adventure lovers, photographers, couples, and anyone seeking an unforgettable Kenyan outdoor experience.
