  Naivasha-Longonot National Park After early breakfast, we drive to the nearby Mt. Longonot National park for a hike. Mount Longonot rises from the floor of the Great Rift Valley like a monolith and is an extinct volcano. It last erupted in the mid-1800s and it takes about 2 hours from the Park Gate to reach the rim of the crater and descent back to the gate. However, going round the crater rim would mean another two hours, thus making the total hike approximately 4 hours for the round trip. The track up the mountain slope is steep and can get slippery at some points as terrain has fine volcanic dust, with loose gravel in some areas of the hike. The crater rim provides great scenic views across the beautiful Rift Valley all the way to Lake Naivasha. Wildlife attractions at Mount Longonot include buffaloes, elands, lion, leopard, bushbucks, common zebra, giraffe and Grant’s gazelles though not likely spotted during the hike. Back to your camp for lunch and relax at your leisure. Overnight at Naivasha West Beach Camp – standard tent (BLD)
