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.
