Menengai Crater Nakuru 1 Day Hiking Tour is a full day trip to climb Menengai crater.  It is considered a moderate climb. Menengai crater is located 10 km (6 miles) north of Nakuru, the fourth-biggest city in Kenya.

The drive from Nairobi to Nakuru takes about 3 hours (about 180 km from Nairobi). It takes another 10 minutes to drive from town to the foot of the crater where the Menengai Forest station offices are located.

Menengai crater is an extinct volcano and one of the world’s largest intact craters and it is 12 kilometers across and nearly 500 meters deep in places. The crater floor covers nearly 90 square kilometers.

While standing at the rim of the huge crater, one is able to have the view of the large stretch of the Northern Rift Valley in a panoramic view, having a glance at some of the mountains like the Tugen Hills, Mau, Abrade, Mathews Range, the Cherenganyi and the Elgeyo-Marakwet escarpment.

More striking is the fact that at the crater, one is able to have the beautiful view of Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru, and the beauty of the crater itself. The hike takes approximately 4 to 5 hours to walk from the base of the crater to the rim and back.

Menengai Crater Nakuru 1 Day Hiking Tour hike begins downhill to the floor of the crater, a flat stretch, and then a rocky, grassy uphill to the summit.

It is a pleasant trip with breathtaking views into the crater as well as surrounding parts of the Rift Valley. Various bird species as well as hyenas, baboons, and dikdik can be spotted in the crater. The descent down the crater looks pretty easy.

However, it is the long trek upwards that is torturous. You need to be an expert hiker to conquer it! With its amazing scenery, the Menengai crater is indeed one of the most attractive places in the Rift Valley. The hiking, trekking, camping, and picnicking options available to the visitor offer the promise of a rewarding trip.

There are also caves that can be explored, but they tend to be frequented by those on religious pilgrimages. Our Menegai Crater tour ends in Nairobi at 1900 Hours.
