Ngong Hills

Explore this 16.7-km out-and-back trail near Ngong, Rift Valley. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 6 h 11 min to complete. This area is very popular for birding and hiking, so you’ll likely encounter other people while exploring. Ngong Hills can be viewed all over Nairobi.

From a distance, these sinuous humps signal your arrival in Kenya’s capital. From the south, the hills form the side of the Rift Valley, and the forested mountain towers 1000 meters above the Maasai lands. These hills in Kenya were made famous in Karen Blixen’s book ‘Out of Africa’.The hills signified the romance of Africa. In real life, the hills are just as romantic—a gentle giant in this land of volcanic valleys and sulfurous lakes.

One Day: Departure

Start your adventure early in the morning by heading to the Ngong Hills Gate, where you’ll pay the entrance fee and begin your hike. The trail stretches across seven scenic peaks, offering stunning views of Nairobi on one side and the Great Rift Valley on the other. The fresh breeze and lush greenery make for an invigorating trek. Carry light snacks, water, and comfortable hiking gear to make the journey enjoyable. After the hike, descend and head to Ngong Town for a quick refreshment or meal at a local eatery. From there, drive to Olepolos Country Club, a popular spot for relaxation and a well-earned nyama choma (grilled meat) feast while soaking in the breathtaking Rift Valley views. After a hearty meal, take some time to unwind before starting your journey back to Nairobi, ideally catching the sunset along the way.
