Major attractions in the Mount Longonot National Park.
The main attraction is to climb deeply serrated cone to the ridge, a little strenuous in parts, particularly near the top and then to circle the lip of the crater. The round trip takes about 4 hours. It’s worth the effort as the views from the top are superb.
