These iconic knuckle-shaped peaks are about 45 minutes’ drive southwest of the city centre. Marking the eastern edge of the Rift Valley, they offer spectacular views. The ground drops away and you can see all the way to Tanzania. You’ll see birds of prey using the hills to gain altitude and forests filled with ancient endangered trees. The best time to go is early in the morning, and it’s recommended to take a security guard hiking with you because there are sometimes lone buffalo roaming around, which can be dangerous.

This is a nice spot for hiking or taking a picnic with beautiful views overlooking The Great Rift Valley to the west and Nairobi city to the east. You can hike the entire length of the ‘knuckles’ and back which may take you between 4-6 hours depending on your fitness levels. www.kenyaforestservice.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78&Itemid=524

"Ngong" means "knuckles" in Maasai, a fitting name since these beautiful pointed green hills resemble the back of a fist facing the sky. They are a popular place to visit close to Nairobi and provide a welcome respite from the city heat. The hills are the peaks of a ridge overlooking the Great Rift Valley and many white settlers established their farms here in the early colonial days. Half-timbered houses and flowering gardens remain but seem more suited to southern England than Africa. Several walking trails traverse the hills offering beautiful views of the valleys below. Wildlife is also visible in the area. Buffalo, gazelles, giraffes, bushbuck, the occasional klipspringer and troupes of baboons are often glimpsed grazing along the roadside. For Out of Africa fans, the grave of Denys Finch Hatton, the lover of famous Danish author, Karen Blixen, lies on the eastern slopes, graced by an obelisk and garden.
