Mwose was a life saver for bringing me to Mt. Longonot last minute due to a change with my original tour operator, and I am glad I got him! He was friendly and smiling from the second I got in the car and made sure I had everything I needed on the hike. I had a great day hiking with Mwose and especially appreciated him stepping in last minute!
GREAT HIKE

My experience was excellent. Moses, our driver and guide was very knowledgeable and professional. The hike was a bit harder than I expected with some steep hills, but still loved it. Totally recommend doing. 10/10, wouldn’t change anything about the experience. Total time almost 5 hours.
The volcano was amazing....

The volcano was amazing. The hike could be a little challenging at parts, but if you’re in okay shape you should be totally fine to complete it. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in Kenya. Our guide Moses was super nice and made the experience smooth.
Moses was a great guide

We thoroughly enjoyed our hike to Mount Longonot with our super driver and guide Moses. It wasn’t the best day as there was a lot of cloud but the walk itself was a lot more pleasant as it wasn’t so hot. Parts of the walk were fairly tough but our guide Moses helped us complete no bother. Well worth having a driver and guide than doing it on your own.
Glad I did it!

Choose your own pace and then trail option once you’ve arrived at the rim. 6 hrs estimated for hikers in excellent shape; be aware of Nairobi’s traffic delays.
Great.

Very good experience. The guide picked me up from my hotel around 6am. After 2 hours drive we arrived on site. Hiking is not very long in itself (less than 1h and 2h depending on your pace) but it goes up very quickly! You better have good hiking shoes. The view is very beautiful from above, we have a wonderful view of Lake Naivasha too. It is worth the visit and the guide is very friendly! Well on the other hand, there was not really "bird watching".
