Mount Longonot Entrance Fees and Contacts

Mount Longonot National Park is one of the parks managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service. It is located southeast of Lake Naivasha, about 80 km from Nairobi – along the Mai Mahiu to Narok road.

Rising from the floor of the Great Rift Valley to an elevation of about 2,776 m is the extinct volcano of Mount Longonot. This mountain is popular with day hikers since it is rated moderate. During the walk around the crater rim, you’ll experience great views of the surroundings. A unique and mysterious feature of the mountain is a thick forest that lies within the crater. Very few people have hiked in the forest which leaves room for speculation. Some of the wildlife attractions at Mount Longonot National Park include giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, grant gazelles, and elands.
