MOUNT LONGONOT

Mount
Longonot, a young volcano which rises to 2,776m. above sea level
is an arresting sight for visitors to the Naivasha basin.
Created amongst the massive eruptions which formed the
Great Rift Valley, its sides now have beautiful V-shaped
valleys and ridges with impenetrable forest around the area
of the crater giving it a lush green aspect. The park
surrounds the volcano.
Mount Longonot offers a
wide range of attractions for visitors keen on activity
holidays, including hiking, rock climbing, biking as well
as bird and wildlife viewing. K.W.S. rangers are available as
guides. Accommodation within these Parks is limited: Hell's
Gate has three campsites, Longonot has no accommodation
within the park, however the fabulous range of nearby
hotels, lodges, luxury ranch and homestays around Lake
Naivasha provide ample accommodation for all budgets.
