"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."

An iconic feature and recreational park; here, you'll taste the awe of scenic nature in an unforgettable adventure. It just offers more at a location; from serene picnic grounds to long hiking trails. If you want to experience long zip lining, your satisfaction is guaranteed. What else? You can't imagine how large the windmills are till you're really sighting them. There's a need to tour again.

Good trail and long distance between the 7 ngong hills. Carry water and put on gripping shoes since the grass is a bit slippery. Put on clothes that cover the whole body due to the presence of tsetse flies and scorching sun.

The summit of Nong Hills has some expansive grassland scenery, and there are herdsmen grazing on the summit. This reminds me of Xinjiang in China. The surrounding scenery is astonishing. The blue sky, the green grassland, and the white clouds form a beautiful picture. The hiking difficulty here is not high, but you need to do a good job of sun protection.

Away from the bustling city centre, the Ngong Hills is a beautiful green sanctuary. It's a moderate to difficult hike through the Ngong Hills Forest Reserve. It really is windy, so be prepared. If you're doing the traverse, then starting early is recommended. They close at 18:30 (6:30 pm). Just when you finish the 6 hills, there's a makeshift open massage to help with those sore muscles at very affordable rates. If you forget to carry water or fruits, there are vendors everywhere. If you're going for a picnic, there are many lovely sites. There is ample parking on both sides of the entrances

A beautiful place to spend your time with friends and family... The hiking is refreshing and re-energizing... Problem is if you car has less clearance.. Climbing up the hill might be a challenge. They should do proper road for people to access the top of the hills.. They can't be charging 250 ksh per person then have a poor infructures. There are officers checking the ETR receipt at the main gate and up at Transformer side. Generally it is a good place and purely lovely. I highly recommend if you wanna get out of town and go relax... It is a good place.

Absolutely in love with this breathtaking views, heaven on earth for nature lovers. What bliss! Greenary all round, the view of the city looked amazing! Can't believe the wind turbines looked this giant from close and the role it plays in today's time. On a private basis, they offer zip lining, too. Some hawkers sold sugarcane juice right at the peak. It was worth an experience!

I love the views in this place . The sound of the wind turbine is very calming. Plus the cool weather. Went there on a Saturday, there were quite a number of people. The entrance feem is 232 for locals and 690 for non resident. The sunset view is great For people who don't feel like walking you can drive your car inside up to where you start climbing at no extra charge for the car. The views are amazing and would recommend it for anyone visiting Kenya to make a stop and enjoy the views
