About

A scenic half-day hike just outside Nairobi with rolling green hills and panoramic views of the Rift Valley. Park your car at the base and walk the ridgeline — vendors sell fresh sugarcane juice along the trail, and the afternoon wind can get chilly so bring layers.

    we were here for a shoot. great place to hike and shoot. just make sure you pay for photography at the gate. sunsets are pretty beautiful but it’s also very cold and windy in the evening:)

    Scenic view close to Nairobi. Great for a half-a-day trip. Don’t forget to park your car and walk the rest. If you visit in the late afternoon bring some warm clothes, the wind becomes a bit chilly.
