1 Day Excursion in Ngong Hills

Enjoy wonderful views of the city of Nairobi and the Great Rift Valley while hiking the Ngong Hills. The tour departs daily and takes place at the Ngong Forest Reserve located 22 Kilometers South West of Nairobi. Its proximity to the city makes it a very popular weekend destination for walking/ Hiking. It’s a popular for walking and picnicking venue for Nairobi's residents and visitors ranging from school groups, hikers, picnickers, professional, amateur runners and worshippers. The hike takes about 4 to 5 hour to complete, depending on fitness levels of participants

The hike up Ngong Hills starts from Ngong town at the northern foot of the hills, 1,961m above sea level, and traverses the whole range to the southern end at Kona Baridi. This takes about 4 to 5 hour to complete, depending on fitness levels of participants. The first kilometer from Ngong Police Station is a gradual ascent through human settlements until you get to a barrier indicating the start of the Ngong Hills forest reserve. From here on, you go past a wind farm, before climbing the first steep hill leading to an area populated with Radio repeater station masts.

The trail thins out and descends into a trough before emerging on to the next steep hill. Just when you think the worst is over, the rolling hills seem to keep popping up, with each taking its toll on you. Thankfully, the views all round are magnificent, making the effort worthwhile. On a lucky day, you are likely to encounter buffalo around the fourth hill, on account of the abundant bushes at these higher altitudes on the range. To your right is a fantastic view of the Great Rift Valley, while on the far left is a view of the City of Nairobi.
