The rift valley system was formed 5 million years ago and the rift runs from the red sea through Ethiopia and Kenya and Tanzania. The rift valley is an active volcanic area and has some of the most interesting features including more than 8 lakes, dormant and active volcanic mountains and hotsprings and geysers like the Olkaria geothermal wells and Lake Bogoria geysers.

Incredible hiking day trip

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a great day trip from Nairobi! The hike was challenging but worth the incredible views. Our guide was great and patient. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get out of the city!

Great hike with a great team

Published on Aug, 2024

I did a trip to Mt Longonot today with Stephen. Stephen picked me up on time from my hotel and drove very safely and on time to Mt Longonot. We arrived to Mt Longonot and met a local guide (Joshua) who accompanied me for the hike. The hike took around 4 hours, including the round trip along the rim. The hike itself is split into a few sections: 1) the hike up to the rim, this is around 3km and is all uphill as you'd expect. It took us around 1 hour. 2) the hike to the summit, again this took around 1 hour. 3) the hike from the summit to the start of the full descent, again around 1 hour. 4) hike down to the gate, once more around an hour. My tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew the answers to all my questions. I then met up again with Stephen and we drove back to Nairobi. On the way back we encountered very bad traffic but Stephen expertly and safely navigated this and remained positive the whole journey, and we arrived back in Nairobi around 3:30pm. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great guide experience

Published on Jun, 2024

My guide Isaac is very nice and kind. Great experience with him, everything is tailed and privat. Lake Naivasha is very beautiful, highly recommended as well to go on the island to take a walk.

Climb to the summit

Published on May, 2024

We ended up doing the full route which was an excellent climb although a little difficult for my 68 dad, excellent views and got to see some animals on the walk back down ( giraffes and zebras). Isaac our driver was very good and spoke to us about Nairobi and the surrounding area. Overall definitely recommend

First Class in every way

Published on Apr, 2024
