Completely off the beaten path and unimpressive from the outside, Mount Suswa is comprised of a massive double crater system and possibly one of the best hidden gems near Nairobi. Suswa is the least known of the three famous Great Rift Valley volcanoes (the other 2 being the nearby Longonot and Menengai in Nakuru). The summit is 2,356m (7,730ft) and affords a breath-taking view of pure beautiful nature.

We spent a night camping at the rim of the outer crater. The Maasai killed a goat and prepared some nyama choma (roasted meat) for us all from scratch...I never realize how much meat is on a tiny little goat until that night; it was a yummy, rustic feast!

our outdoor nyama choma...the meat glistened next to the fire, it's probably the most beautiful piece of meat I've ever eaten
The next morning we followed our guide, Daniel, up the mountain...The view from the hike was simply breath-taking, as far as being close to nature goes, this probably can't be beat!
