About Ngong Hills

Famous from 'Out of Africa', the Ngong Hills are seven distinct peaks along a ridge a stone's throw from central Nairobi. We run guided sundowner hikes most Saturdays — meet at the Kona Baridi gate, walk the rolling ridge with the Rift Valley falling away to your right, and finish with cold drinks at the trailhead.

Trail highlights

  • Walk all seven peaks (or skip the last two for a half-day)
  • Sundowner photography over the Rift Valley
  • Easy starter hike for first-timers in Kenya
