Google Review for Ngong Hills
Visiting Ngong Hillswas an absolutely refreshing and memorable experience! This destination is perfect for anyone who loves nature, scenic views, and outdoor activities.
The views are simply breathtaking rolling green hills stretching as far as the eye can see, with panoramic sights of the Great Rift Valley on one side and Nairobi city skyline on the other. If you enjoy photography, this place is a dream!
The hiking trail is well-marked and offers a mix of gentle slopes and challenging climbs, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned hikers. The cool breeze and fresh air make the hike enjoyable, and there are plenty of spots to take breaks and soak in the beauty.
Security has improved, with guards along the trail, but I would still recommend going in a group for safety and extra fun. There are also wind turbines along the way, which add a unique touch to the landscape.
A few tips:
* Carry water and some snacks, as there are no shops along the trail.
* Wear comfortable shoes and carry a light jacket—it can get windy and chilly at the top.
* Go early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise and avoid the midday sun.
The only downside is that there are limited facilities like washrooms and seating areas, but the natural beauty more than makes up for it.
Overall, Ngong Hills is a must-visit for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape close to Nairobi.
