Mount Longonot, Lake Naivasha and Hell's gate
Our driver Benard was very professional and communicative. The communication with Beth from Perfect wilderness tours was really good and fast. The hike in Mount Longonot was wonderful as the safari in Hell's gate.
The Hotel where we spent the night could be better for the price. But overall a good experience.

A challenging start to an incredible climb
Although we had issues with a lingering runny stomach, my sister and I put one foot in front of the other to conquer Mount Longonot. Secko led us to the incredible crater view and pointed out Lake Naivasha. He ensured that we avoided the steepest route and fielded our many questions. Secko’s kind nature was encouragement to the friendly wild dogs, so they chose to accompany us all the way to the top! Thank you for a great hike, Secko! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and are glad that we did it.
Operator response
Hello Amelia,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear about the stomach issues but glad Secko was able to lead you to the incredible crater view and make the hike enjoyable. It's wonderful that you conquered Mount Longonot and had the company of friendly wild dogs. We appreciate your positive feedback and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future.
Regards

Great plan for a short break from Nairobi
It was refreshing to exercise (hiking and cycling) while enjoying the view of the natural landscape and animals. The boat safari at lake Naivasha was also very enjoyable. The tour guide Simba was very professional and friendly. The only point that could be improved was the accommodation - it would be much better if there were a couple of options to be able to choose from.
Operator response
Hello,
Thank you for taking to time to write us this wonderful review. We are delighted to read that you had a great time and Simba was a great driver guide, he is one of the best in the industry with a great knowledge of the parks . We are happy that the hike was great as well as the boat ride. Thank you for recommendation on the accommodation, we will look into it.
We invite you to travel with us again in future.

Great Trip
Santa was an amazing guide/driver who inspired and physically helped us climb up the volcano. What a wonderful view. The boat ride was great as was the drive thru the Hellgate National Park. We saw lots of animals and birds. The hotel was charming. Trip was well worth our money.
