Leave Nairobi with a private guide such as Peter or John, then hike the seven Ngong Hills on a 12km route. Expect steep ups and downs, strong wind, wildlife possibilities, and wide views toward the Rift Valley and Nairobi. Transport, guide, and entrance fees are included.

“The journey was amazing from the drive all the way to the hike. Peter my guide was friendly, excellent, very patient, helpful & adapted to different paces. Bring water. There are 7 hills, its not a straight climb up but a up and down, even when returning, that makes it more of a challenge, but worth it especially the views. Would recommend.”
