A fantastic day trip to Nairobi

Peter is a friendly and safe driver who drove us from our hotel in Nairobi to our hike on Mount Longonot and boat trip on Lake Navisha. A tiring but memorable day trip. Hiking with girrafes, seeing fish eagles hunting and hippos galore - what's not to like!

We are glad to hear that your safari was an amazing one with our guide Peter, he is among our best professional guide very knowledgeable and always very informative. He has a lot of of experience in the field therefore he always delivers the best services to our clients. We appreciate you spreading the good word. We hope to serve you and many others in the near future. Regards, Faith

Fun active hike and safari!

My brother and I went on a 2-day trip with our amazing guide Peter. On the first day we hiked Mount Longonot which was very beautiful, and in the afternoon we did a hippo safari on Lake Navaisha. The next day we cycled around Hell’s Gate National Park where we encountered many animals from up close. Our guide Peter knew exactly where to go and was great company. Would definitely do this again!

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking your time to write us this great review. We are happy to hear you had great time during the 2 days with our guide/driver Peter. We look forward to serve you again in the near future.

Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

How much does Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park cost?

+

Prices start at $204 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.

Is Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park?

+

Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Overnight Exciting Tour To Mt. Longonot and Hell's Gate Park start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Nairobi?

+

On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Nairobi?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Nairobi?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
