Ngong Hills Day Hike

Located just 25km southwest of Nairobi, Ngong Hills is one of Kenya's most accessible and scenic hiking destinations. Stretching across a series of steep rolling hills on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, this iconic ridge offers stunning panoramic views, a refreshing breeze, and the kind of physical challenge that leaves you feeling renewed, mind, body, and spirit. The trail runs along a series of seven wind-swept knuckles (peaks) rising to an elevation of approximately 2,460 metres above sea level. As you hike across the ridge, you'll enjoy expansive views of Nairobi city on one side and the dramatic Rift Valley escarpment on the other. Whether you're training for higher altitudes like Mt. Kenya, seeking an active day out, or just craving a mental reset in nature, Ngong Hills offers the perfect balance of challenge and charm.
