Breathtaking Mt. Longonot Private Hiking Adventure from Nairobi

The tour was great, the guide for mount longonot (Joshua) was very knowledgeable and the views at the top were breathtaking. Our driver Jimmy also took care of all our requests and gave an insight into Kenyan life and culture throughout the trip. Highly recommend.

An amazing experience at Mount Longono! Isaac picked me up in the morning – very punctual, the car was spotless, and he was extremely kind. He dropped me off at the park entrance where Peter was waiting to start the hike. The trail was a bit more challenging than I expected, but Peter was absolutely wonderful and very attentive throughout. Tip: bring a reusable water bottle (plastic bottles are not allowed, and a bottle on-site costs around $2). The scenery is breathtaking, and the view from the top is truly spectacular. I hope to come back one day to do the full circuit when I’m in better shape! On the way back, Isaac was waiting exactly where he had dropped me off – again, very punctual and friendly. I highly recommend Isaac and Peter for this unforgettable experience!

We had a fabulous hiking trip to Mt Longonot and boat trip on Lake Naivasha - great views and so many bird species. Ezekiel was a very knowledgeable and kind guide for our trip. Highly recommend!

At nearly the last minute I decided I wanted to hike Mt Longonot. I found Perfect Wilderness and couldn't be happier I asked them for the tour. I had a lot of questions beforehand and tour agent Betty answered all of them quick and perfectly. Once in Kenya, their driver Benard helped me get to the vulcano and back safely and comfortably. We had a lot of nice conversations and I enjoyed it a lot. Once at the location I was handed over to my guide Joshua. He was perfect and I was very lucky to have him guide me. Friendly, knowledgeable, fun, great to talk to and helped me take some amazing photos. In a bit of extra luck, the weather was fantastic and we nearly had the whole vulcano to ourselves! I highly recommed this tour.

Stephen & Moses provided me with a wonderful experience. We got to the park early, and I found myself the only hiker on the trail! The views are stunning (wait until you get to the top, it is truly a wow moment), and I recommend hiking the whole rim if you’re up for it, about 9 miles total. Bring hiking boots and a reusable water bottle (2 litres if possible). Would recommend hiking poles for some sections that are a little steep and loose on the way down, but I survived without. Really recommend this trip for a fun day outside of Nairobi, and this group is the one to make it happen in a friendly and efficient manner. Thanks!!

My driver, Gem picked me up from my hotel early in the morning and we drove to Mount Longonot. On the way, she was telling me thing about Niaorbi, the things we were seeing on our way to Mount Longonot, and the Great Rift Valley. I really appreciate her knowledge and her good driving. At Mount Longonot, I got my own private tour guide (I forgot his name). He was very patient and was able to point out animals from a distance. He even got some good pictures for me! It was a really beautiful hike. On my way down, it got super crowded and people going up were in a very slow moving line. Starting early means beating the heat and the crowd.Afterwards, Gem drove me back to my hotel and we had a really good conversation during the ride. I would recommend hiring this tour since I had a really good driver (Gem), got a private tour guide, and we started early.

I spent a long time searching for tourism companies in Nairobi to do this day trip to Mount Longonot and Lake Naivasha, since I was a bit concerned with safety in Africa. Couldn't have chosen better! Had an absolutely amazing experience with my driver Peter and the hiking guide Steven Mbugua. If you're going to Kenya, you must hike Mount Longonot and visit Lake Naivasha!

My wife and I had a perfect day on this one day tour from Nairobi to Mount Longonot and Lake Naivasha and back. From the time I made contact with the company, I've had very responsive and clear correspondence from Damaris in the office. On the day of the tour, Charles, our driver picked us up promptly at the designated time and looked after us properly and patiently all day. He was flexible when we asked for a different lunch stop and also a coffee stop. He drove well. The hike upto the rim of Mount Longonot and around the rim is moderately hard but well worth it for the views of the crater and the rift valley. My only advice is that this tour starts early at 6am and it would be good to schedule a coffee stop some where before the hike starts at Mount Longonot. Thank you everyone at Perfect Wildnerness Tours.

Mt Longonot and Lake Naivasha (boat tour) daytrip from Nairobi. Efficient organization, quick to respond, and a beautiful day with a great driver and nice guides. Recommend!

Had a great experience with Perfect Wilderness Tours. I did a solo trip. Paid directly with the tour company, which was a bit cheaper. :-) Both my driver Charles as well as my hiking guide Joshua were very nice. The mountain and the crater was covered in clouds in the morning but cleared up before going down, so I could still take some great pictures.
