Day 1

You'll begin your adventure with an early morning drive from Nairobi, heading toward the Great Rift Valley. After a brief stop at the viewpoint, continue to Mount Longonot National Park, where your hike begins. The initial climb to the crater rim takes about 1–2 hours, depending on your pace, following a steep but rewarding trail that offers sweeping views of the Rift Valley. Upon reaching the rim, you can choose to take the optional full crater loop, a more challenging circuit that takes the total hiking time to 4–5 hours. This route circles the entire crater, giving you panoramic views of the forested interior and the surrounding escarpments. After descending, you may head to Lake Naivasha for a relaxing lunch (on your own) or opt for a peaceful boat ride to spot hippos, birdlife, and enjoy the scenic lakeside environment.

Great organisation and full day exploring

We booked a one day Mount Longonot and Lake Naivasha tour, and Meterai were great all the way from booking to the tour on the day. We ended up taking more time than anticipated, and an extra visit to Crescent Island but we had a great day exploring this amazing part of Kenya. Thank you Liz, John and the team!

Excellent Safari Tour - Highly Recommend

We had an incredible experience with Meterai Safaris on our January trip to the Maasai Mara! As a group of three girls traveling together, we felt completely taken care of from start to finish. Richard was an exceptional host and guide. He truly listened to what we wanted out of the experience and tailored the safari to fit our preferences, which made it feel personal rather than scripted. When our flights changed at the last minute, the company was incredibly flexible and accommodating—making what could have been stressful feel seamless and easy. Airport pickup and drop-off were right on time, and the transitions were smooth throughout. The safari itself was unforgettable. We saw 3 of the Big 5, and Richard went above and beyond—doing some seriously impressive driving and tracking to help us spot animals that are notoriously hard to find. You could tell he was experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible sightings. The entire trip felt safe, well-organized, affordable, and thoughtfully planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better Maasai Mara experience and would absolutely recommend Meterai Safaris to anyone looking for a customized, stress-free adventure.

Amazing experience

Despite a last-minute booking, John's responsiveness was outstanding. Everything was superbly managed. Our driver, Tchado, is a true professional and enabled us to see the Big Five on our very first outing. We even got to witness some hunting scenes up close... I highly recommend him.
