The safari is based on a group joining safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and a private safari to Naivasha/Hell’s Gate.
Masai Mara is home for the Wildebeest migration and “Big Five” (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos and buffalo) & also zebras, antelope, hyenas, giraffes, African lions including black-maned lion. Lake Nakuru National Park’s biggest attraction is undoubtedly its huge population of rhinos and aquatic birds such as flamingoes, pelicans.
Then explore Hell’s Gate National Park, the only park where you can drive, walk and do some cycling within the Park then spice up your trip with a boat ride in Lake Naivasha where you get a chance to spot the big hippos on the shores of the lake and different species of water bird.

A Breathtaking Adventure: Mt. Longonot & Lake Naivasha Day Trip - If you are looking for a day that perfectly balances physical challenge with serene nature, this is it. Our trip was insanely beautiful and exceeded every expectation we had. From... read more the peak of a volcano to the waters of a hippo-filled lake, it was an unforgettable experience.
We start with a rewarding, high-energy hike up Mount Longonot and transition into a relaxing, scenic boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The views from the crater rim are stunning, but the boat ride was an unexpected highlight—seeing hippos, diverse birdlife, and other wild animals up close was truly amazing.
One of the best parts of this package was that all park fees were included. It made the day feel seamless and high-value. The only thing not included was lunch, but our driver took us to a local buffet that was delicious, high-quality, and very affordable.
It’s a full, satisfying day. We were picked up at 6:00 AM and made a quick fuel/coffee stop. We hit the trail at 8:50 AM. The hike to the top takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours depending on your fitness level (I took my time at 1.5 hours, while my friend zoomed up!). If you walk the perimeter of the crater, add another 3 hours. We finished lunch by 2:00 PM and wrapped up the boat ride at 4:00 PM before heading home.
The vibe is incredibly peaceful yet adventurous. You move from the quiet, rugged terrain of the volcano to the lush, vibrant life of the lake. It felt personal, professional, and very well-paced.
We were pleasantly surprised to find this was a private tour! It was just my friend and me with our driver and guide. We had expected a large group, so having that one-on-one attention made the day feel much more exclusive and relaxed.
The team made the trip. Jimmy, our driver, was excellent—not only a great navigator but also picked a perfect lunch spot. Dominic, our hiking guide, was fantastic. He was so patient and kind, never making me feel rushed when I needed to take breaks on the incline.
Best For
• Nature Lovers: The wildlife sightings at the lake are top-tier.
• Hikers of all levels: Whether you’re a "zoomer" or a slower hiker, the guides make it accessible.
• Small Groups/Friends: The private nature of the tour makes it a great bonding experience.
