      Enjoy wonderful views of the city of Nairobi and the great Rift Valley while hiking the Ngong Hills. The tour departs daily and takes place at the Ngong Forest Reserve located 25 Kilometers South West of Nairobi. It’s a popular walking and picnicking venue for Nairobi's residents and visitors. The hike takes about 4 to 5 hour to complete, depending on fitness levels of participants. The first thing that strikes you as you come up the hill is the enormous size of the windmills. They look glorious in their white color just littered along the hillside. The green grass offers a perfect location for a picnic under the clear blue skies.Ngong hills is a very popular weekend walking/ Hiking destination for guests including school groups, hikers, picnickers, professional, amateur runners and worshipers. The hills can become quite busy over the weekends. The highest peak on the knuckle-shaped Ngong hills is at 2460 meters/ 8070 Feet above sea level, and the whole mountain range is a gazette forest reserve covering an area of over 21,000 square Kilometers.The Ngong Hills featured in the film ‘Out of Africa', which was based on the book of the same name by Karen Blixen. Karen Blixen suggested the name “Ngong” came from the Maasai word for “knuckles” and indeed the row of hills do look like a set of knuckles.
