- NGO GIA Tailor - Departure is scheduled for 7:45 a.m. to travel to the base of the Ngong Hills. Arrival is expected by 9:00 a.m. Enjoy hiking across all the peaks that form a series along the mountain, with our guides providing insights into the area’s history.
The hike begins at the northern foot of Ngong Hills and covers the entire range to the southern end, taking approximately 4 to 5 hours. The ascent is gradual through human settlements until reaching a barrier that marks the start of the Ngong Hills forest reserve. Pass by a wind farm before ascending the first steep hill, which leads to an area with Radio repeater station masts.
The trail narrows and descends into a trough before emerging onto the next steep hill, with rolling hills appearing continuously. The views are breathtaking. On a fortunate day, buffalo may be spotted around the fourth hill, amidst the abundant bushes at higher altitudes. To the right, there is a stunning view of the Great Rift Valley, while to the far left, the City of Nairobi can be seen. The tour concludes at 1:00 p.m., followed by departure.
