NGONG HILLS HIKE! LETS DO IT.....

Due to Public Demand we now Bring to you Ngong Hills Hike Reloaded! Enjoy the best of Ngong Hills and Lunch at Olepolos Country club. 28th feb 2015 Charges at 1550/= pp Kenyans 1700/= Non-residents We shall converge at Hilton Bata at 7.00am which will be our pickup point then depart to Ngoong hills at 7:30am. The hike up Ngong Hills starts from Ngong town at the northern foot of the hills, 1,961m above sea level, and traverses the whole range to the southern end at Kona Baridi. This takes about 4 to 5 hour to complete, depending on fitness levels of participants. The first kilometer from Ngong Police Station is a gradual ascent through human settlements until you get to a barrier indicating the start of the Ngong Hills forest reserve. From here on, you go past a wind farm, before climbing the first steep hill leading to an area populated with Radio repeater station masts. The trail thins out and descends into a trough before emerging on to the next steep hill. Just when you think the worst is over, the rolling hills seem to keep popping up, with each taking its toll on you. Thankfully, the views all round are magnificent, making the effort worthwhile. On a lucky day, you are likely to encounter buffalos around the fourth hill, on account of the abundant bushes at these higher altitudes on the range. To your right is a fantastic view of the Great Rift Valley, while on the far left is a view of the City of Nairobi. Then we shall proceed to Oletepes Kiserian for lunch (Choma), swimming, mingle and refreshment.
