| no partners | | 3rd time up Mount Longonot. I got an earlier start than my previous trips. I completed the loop this time. My next hike in Kenya will be Elephant Hill or Mt Kenya.
I got up the mountain in 48 minutes. The loop around the craters was about an hour and 45 minutes, roughly. It was extremely crowded at the base of the mountain because a lot of businesses joined together to have their employees hike the trail together. There were also school buses that had kids join the groups, although, I didn't see any kids on the trail.
The hike up was not crowded at all. I think I was the first one up the mountain. The rim was not crowded either, but the hike down was getting crowded. It wasn't too much trouble though.
The hike around the rim was challenging. It's definitely a 4.5 to 5 difficulty rating. The highest point was very steep, and it got easier after that with some small hills along the rim.
Not much wildlife on this hike. I think the crowds scared them away. I was a cape buffalo, an eland, and 3 giraffes. The giraffes were further away this trip. |
