Hiking the Crater

After pickup from guest's locations in Naivasha, Nakuru, and Nairobi, Guests start with a 3.1-kilometer hike up the mountain starting from the entrance to the crater rim. At the top, guests have the option of taking the shorter route to the summit or going around the whole rim (7.2 kilometers). The gate elevation is around 2150 m and the peak at 2776 m but following the jagged rim involves substantially more than the 630 m vertical difference.
