NGONG HILLS TOUR AND ADVENTURE TOUR FROM NAIROBI

You will be picked up from your hotel and drive toward south west towards the Ngong area.

The first thing that strikes you as you come up the hill is the enormous size of the windmills. They look glorious in their white color just littered along the hillside. The view of the undulating hills on the horizon sits as real as a painting with the hues of blue and green appealing to the viewer. The green grass offers a perfect location for a picnic under the clear blue sky Ngong Hills (7 Hills) are a popular day-trip safari destination for guests including school groups, hikers, picnickers, professional, amateur runners and worshippers. The hills can become quite busy over the weekends!.Professional and amateur runners will also be found in the morning jogging up and down the steep slopes. The highest peak on the knuckle-shaped Ngong hills is at 2460 meters/ 8070 Feet above sea level, and the whole mountain range is a gazetted forest reserve covering an area of over 21,000 square Kilometers.

The Ngong Hills featured in the film ‘Out of Africa', which was based on the book of the same name by Karen Blixen. Karen Blixen suggested the name “Ngong” came from the Maasai word for “knuckles” and indeed the row of hills do look like a set of knuckles.

 

The lions are gone now though, so it is safe to walk and enjoy the same beautiful scenery the couple enjoyed 100 years ago.
