“We had a fantastic day with Frank. He was very knowledgeable on the area and we had a lovely walk. Whilst I would recommend the experience, watch out for the first stop. After an early start, you'll stop at a view point for the rift valley. The point of this is for you to buy incredibly overpriced souveniers. It's almost obligatory in the way it is set up and the fact you stop so early.”

Steep Mount Longonot hike from Nairobi, then a sunset boat ride on Lake Naivasha for hippos and a lakeside lunch.
“Amazing day, driving first through the roads from Nairobi center on the way to Mount Longonot, you get to see a lot even before starting your day! The ascent to Mount Longonot is steep, take good shoes. And also bring your own reusable water bottle as single use plastic is not allowed in the park. Amazing views up there and you get to see animals.
