Mount Longonot National Park
Najlepší čas na návštevu
Set off from the gate by 8 a.m. to beat the Rift Valley heat on the exposed trail. Clear skies typically hold through June to September and January, when views over the lake and plains are crispest.
Tipy na rozpočet
Foreign adults pay about 26 dollars at the Kenya Wildlife Service gate, while Kenyan citizens pay far less, around 300 to 600 shillings. Pack your own water and snacks, since nothing is sold beyond park entry and the nearest shops sit back down the highway.

O
Rýchle fakty: Niekdajšie spiace sopky lemujú kenskú priekopovú prepadlinu a táto naposledy vybuchla v 60. rokoch 19. storočia. Zhruba 8 kilometrov dlhý chodník vedie po okraji krátera, po úvodnom výstupe na strmý svah sopky.
Zaujímavosti: Strážcovia pri vchode požičiavajú opotrebované drevené vychádzkové palice, priateľská tradícia, ktorá uľahčuje brutálny prvý kilometer. Po dosiahnutí okraja sa odkryje bujná mozaika divých olív a žltých stromov na dne krátera, pričom z prieduchov pod ním stále stúpa sírová para.
Insiderské tipy
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, as the route mixes loose volcanic scree with sharp rock edges.
- Take a free walking stick from the rangers at the gate to save your knees on the long descent.
- Loop the full 8 kilometer rim instead of stopping at the first viewpoint, since the opposite side reveals the crater's forested interior.
- Carry at least 2 liters of water per person and start by 6 a.m. in high season to avoid the crowd and the midday burn.
