Deep in the heart of the Rift Valley lies a dormant volcano, Mt. Longonot, derived from the Masai word O-Loo-Nong'ot, meaning 'of the valleys'.  

Straddling the slopes of Longonot and bordering Hell's Gate National Park to the west lies a private ranch, Kedong, of 80,000 acres where the colonial style ranch house is situated with stunning views of Hell’s Gate gorge and the Aberdares mountain range. Amongst the many species of game, which roam freely over the open plains, are eland, giraffe, zebra, impala, gazelle, Coke’s Hartebeest, hyena and bat-eared fox. 

Horseback riding and walking are wonderful activities to be enjoyed on the ranch. The option of a night game drive is a must, for there are good opportunities to find several nocturnal species such as the African springhare, white tailed mongoose, zorilla and the aardvark. Our ‘legendary’ hosts here are Tony and Susie Church.
