Ngong Hills

Description:

Iconic rolling ridgeline hike on the edge of Nairobi.

Best Time to Visit:

December-March & June-September

Extended Description:

The Ngong Hills form a scenic ridge of rolling green peaks just southwest of Nairobi, immortalised in 'Out of Africa.' The classic hike traverses a series of knuckle-shaped summits with sweeping views over the Rift Valley on one side and Nairobi on the other. Accessible, breezy, and dotted with wind turbines, it's one of Kenya's most popular day hikes - pure scenery and fresh air, no safari required.
