Good alternative to safari
Very scenic. Nice hike and guides. Overnight hotel; clean but right next to big road and away from any business. Impossible to leave to explore the town from there.

Great trip to see the nature and exercise at the same time
The trip was great. Our driver & guide Patrick was very good. He was always on time, provided us with great insights and was a really warm person.
Our hike at Mount Longonot was really a nice experience. Our hiking guide Joshua knew a lot of the area, flora & fauna. We enjoyed his company while hiking.
Boat ride in the lake was also great. We saw hippos, lots of different animals and birds.
Finally, biking at the Hells Gate national park was fun and we saw zebras, giraffes and many other animals from close by. Our guide Robert knew a lot and was very helpful.

Brilliant guides and exciting journey
A very dynamic and exciting journey. Guides were wonderful. Patrick, who took the driver's part, was funny, honest and helpful; Robert at Hell's gate was very informative; finally, Joshua at Longonot showed his secret campsite in the crater and shared the nerd-like excitement about hiking, geology and geography that I though only I have. Thank you for such a memorable experience, guys ❤️
Operator response

Lovely weekend
We did a lovely private custom tour in Naivasha Area, covering Mt. Longonot, Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate, and the Alkaria Spa in two days. The crew was knowledgeable and super helpful throughout the trip. Fully recommended as a weekend getaway from Nairobi or a short add on to your longer safari trip.

A great experience, with an attentive guide for climbing Mont Longomot, lots of beautiful things to see on Lake Navaisha and a pleasant bike safari. It's varied, a bit sporty but affordable.
