3days 2 nights sleeping in the volcano.
This is doable since we do have two campingsites in the volcano. (This is for those who have more time, otherwise 1night 2days is also good)

DAY1: Arrival at the main gate at 1200hr.
Meeting point and have introduction of everyone in the team. Check out and pack everything that is required for the hike. All park fees gets settled,this activity should take not more than an hour and half. Take off as later as 0200hours,heading to the east side of the Crater for day1 night at Nyati campsite. Expected at the camp here at around 0430hrs, relaxing a bit is good as tent awaiting to be pitched, or the team work together for firewood. Pitch the tents and later start camp fire. We prepare dinner, you have a drink for you, good to go enjoy it at the campfire, and get to sleep at your own pressure but most of us stays at the campfire having stories till midnight.

Shall have packed lunch along the way. 0830 is the Expected time at ever green campsite. Relaxing is good and having our tents pitched is better. The team work together and pick firewood for camp fire.

The great Rift valley, Mt. Longonot.
Wild camping in a volcano part 1.
In the great Rift valley here comes the extinct volcano of Mt. Longonot. Most tourists from both domestic and international tourists likes and enjoy the hiking up and round the Crater, but not many knows that one can hike down to the bottom of the Crater. It was few years ago when I joined as guide in this park, that many always ask “if anyone have been down in the volcano”. To find the answer, my friends guides and i had to find our way down to the volcano and it is same way we do till today. You would not have fun hiking down without spending at least a night. We do have two camping points inside the volcano.
in a volcano

“Are there animals inside the Crater?” many people will always ask.
Yes we do have animals, some goes inside and out every time they will, namely, Leopard, baboons, clipspringer(an antelope like a mountain goat), rock hyrax and have sported a rock python once. There are plesent of mountain ridback though always stays inside and never come out. Most animals that always stays in, never take mouth water. We do have steam vents around the walls and the bottom of the Crater and no water.
claws marks.

Leopard claw marks running twenty feet to the branches above.

This is the evidence that we have Leopards in the volcano,but there is nothing to worry since they are very shy though can be very aggressive once provoked or when with cubs. Again since all this time have seen it 3 times and never had contacts with them, only that we hear sounds from a distance,in the middle of the night, maybe cubs calling their momma out of the cold.

The great Rift valley, Mt. Longonot.
Starting at 2150m to the peak at 2780m above sea level.

Mt. Longonot National Park is one of the best hiking mountain in the world and animals grazing.
Going up the steep of the mountain is a feat of the strong-willed.

At the south east of the Lake Naivasha in the great Rift valley is MT. Longonot. Longonot is derived from oloongonot; a maasai word meaning "mountain of many spurs" or,steep ridges. Mt. Longonot is 60km north-west of Nairobi and can easily be reached using the old Naivasha Maai-mahiu highway, which leads to nearby longonot shopping center.
The shopping center, which is North of the most famous satellite earth station.

Recipe of activities.
Mt. Longonot Crater has bushes and steams. It's believed that the last activity happened in 1860s. Lava flow left unique ridges on its sides. The mountain rises above 750 meters on the floor of the great Rift valley and can be seen by anyone driving from the main highway. From the the road, one is guaranteed different viewpoints of the amazing natural feature. A trek up and round the Crater can take approximately four to five hours. At the highest point which rises at 2780m above sea level, presents you a with a panoramic view of the great Rift valley, Lake Naivasha and overlooking escarpments, Hell's gate National Park as well as Mt. Suswa on South of Mt. Longonot. Once you are up you get a beautiful view of the the Crater and the great Rift valley.
Mt. Longonot National Park was formed around the mountain and offers a rich recipe of activities that include hiking, rock climbing, biking, bird watching, Crater camping and wildlife.
A visitor is likely to encounter a variaty of animals, including ;giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, grants and Thomson gazelles, eland, hert beast, hyenas, Bart eared fox, jackal, Leopard is the biggest cat in this park though they are extremely rare, Lions have been also spotted.
A guide is recommended for visitors as an encounter with a wandering Buffalo can turn tragic, as well local information you would not like to miss as you take this hike.

The park was formed to encourage tourism around the mountain, the Crater being one of the main attraction. There are senic but challenging gulleys on the trail where most animals hides.

To anyone on the Maai-mahiu road, the gaping Mt. Longonot is the nature's treasure.
One gets a fantastic view of the great oloongonot Crater. The trail up the mountain is steep, and very dusty with the old volcanic asses.
Scaling Mt. Longonot is a feat for the strong-willed as it leaves one exasperated.
The Crater floor is lined with thick forest and steam roles, evidence of volcanic activities.
While driving on the Maai-mahiu Naivasha road, one can take a glimpse of other great tourist attractions like Lake Naivasha, which is home of more than 400 species of birds and large population of hippos, while boat riding, fishing, bird watching and wildlife are the main activities done here.
Hell's gate is known for its scenic rocks, hiking and even camping. Good news for visitors. The national park is only stone throw away from the mountain, one can do trekking in between the two parks, especially those who have much time for more experience.
