Beautiful Hiking Excursion From Nairobi - This hike is a great way to get a bit of workout while enjoying some breathtaking views. Peter was a great guide! He made the process super smooth and we had some really interesting conversations. To get to the starting place you ascend about 3k feet in the car to hike at around 7k feet. I am quite sensitive to high altitudes so the hike was a little more challenging than I expected, but Peter is super great about letting you hike at your own pace and for as many of the hills as you can.

A Great Half Day - 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.

Great challenge while geting out of the city for a day - Peter was a really good guide and was always adapting to our pace. We did all of the 7 mountains forth and back, which was actually more of a challenge than i would have thought! We took more than ten breaks in think but i couldn’t be more proud now. There’s always the option to turn back after whichever hill you want, nobody expects you to do the whole thing! Bring light luggage, you just need food and water (we needed about five hours for the hike itself). You can also stock up on water as some people are selling it in the hills. And then enjoy the incredible views, the stillness and the chirping if the birds ;)

Fun walk - This hike was much needed after feeling a bit cooped up in my hotel room. My legs are definitely feeling it now but the hills were tough but manageable. Peter was a great tour guide, completing the trip. I would definitely recommend.

Ngong Hills Hike with tour guide Peter - We enjoyed our hike with our tour guide Peter of the Ngong Hills. The weather wasn’t great, but thankfully the fog cleared long enough for us to see the beautiful valley.

Awesome hike on the outskirts of Nairobi! - Such an incredible hike. I enjoyed the great views while still feeling the exercise. My guide Peter was great and he helped me get the motivation I needed when the hike was steep. I highly recommend this company!
