What A Crater!
Mount Longonot, located 60 km from Nairobi, is a popular
hiking destination for kids, beginners, and experienced
hikers. The 3.1km trail starts at the gate with a gentle
trek before a steep climb to the rim. One can choose to
descend or hike around the loop. For the more adventurous,
a 7.2km loop encircles the crater, typically taking 2-3
hours. Experienced hikers can do the loop twice to make
the hike more challenging.
