"Hike the Ngong Hills For a spectacular hike near Nairobi, head to the Ngong Hills, just a 40–minute driveaway. These knuckle-shaped hillsoffer panoramic views of Nairobi and the surrounding mountain ranges, and you can choose to turn back at any point if you don’t feel like scaling every peak (the highest risesto 8,071 feetabove sea level). The easiest option is to leave your car at the Ngong Town entrance and pick up a ranger to guide your walk. Be sure to bring a picnic—the satisfaction of reaching the final peak is best celebrated by sprawling out on a blanket, enjoyinga sandwich, and soaking inthe views extendingout from all sides."
