Guided Ngong Hills hike near Nairobi with English guide Steve, 360-degree Rift Valley views, pickup and ticket included.
“I very much enjoyed the tour with Steve! He was really nice and also as a woman travelling solo I always felt safe around him. We had a good chat while hiking and he also told me a lot about Kenyan culture and the nature around. Also I recommend going all the way from north to south and not stopping anf turninh around at the viewpoint as the hills are really beautiful all the way through.”
Private Shimba Hills game drive and guided hike to Sheldrick Falls, with lunch and a lodge pool stop in Kenya.
“We had a wonderful trip to Shimba Hills with John as our guide, it was a truly special experience. Although it rained heavily at times, that actually made the tour even more memorable. The hike to Sheldrick Falls was an absolute highlight despite (or even because of) the rain. Walking through the jungle, surrounded by the sound of rain and nature, was a refreshing and one of a kind experience. Once we reached the waterfall, the view was simply breathtaking. The combination of tropical scenery and cascading water created a magical atmosphere. I’m really glad we went on this trip, it was a genuine nature adventure. I can highly recommend…”
Private half-day hike from Nairobi to Ngong Hills, 12km across seven hills with rift valley and city views, hotel pickup, guide, fees.
“The journey was amazing from the drive all the way to the hike. Peter my guide was friendly, excellent, very patient, helpful & adapted to different paces. Bring water. There are 7 hills, its not a straight climb up but a up and down, even when returning, that makes it more of a challenge, but worth it especially the views. Would recommend.”
Mt Longonot half-day crater rim hike from Nairobi with an expert guide, Great Rift Valley views, and Lake Naivasha options.
“It was a nice hike. The view of the crater is absolutely worth it. My guide Peter helped me through the tricky sections. He has good knowledge and pointed out different landscapes and animals. Will always recommend going with a community guide. You get to learn a lot in the interactions. Dennis drove me to the park and back. Also very helpful. Overall, a very nice day trip.”

Karura Forest hike from 13 Nkrumah Ave with Musa. 4 hours of trails, waterfalls, wildlife and real Nairobi value for $41.
“Musa is a fantastic young man from Nairobi & passionate about spreading the knowledge & joy. We took this tour & had him to ourselves since it was low season. It only took us 2hs at an average pace but was beautiful scenery, pretty waterfall & caves. Theres a few hilly bits but its suitable for most to be able to do it, you just may take a little longer & Musa was so patient when we were slow or stopping to look at things. I’d highly recommend him”

The drive on the way back was hot. The vehicle did not have AC as stated. The driver stopped multiple times for personal shopping.”
Spend a full day in Shimba Hills National Reserve with a game drive, a rainforest hike to Sheldrick Falls, and lunch plus pool time.
“Het was een fantastische dag, vol mooie en unieke ervaringen. De taxi-chauffeur kwam ons ophalen, helaas was dit met een gewone 6-persoonsauto, wat de safari moeilijk maakte. Het was niet de ideale auto voor de safari en er waren niet zoveel dieren (enkel antilopen en zebra’s). Daarna volgde de wandeling naar de waterval samen met enkele rangers, deze wandeling was zeer leuk. We bleven 30min bij de waterval om een frisse duik te nemen, het was super leuk! Daarna gingen we door naar de lodges waar we konden genieten van een lunch en het fantastische uitzicht! We konden helaas maar 1uurtjes zwemmen voor we door moesten naar huis, dit mocht…”

A steep Mount Kenya day hike from Nairobi to Old Moses Camp, with picnic lunch, wildlife chances, and views of Batian and Nelion.
“Ručak je bio iznimno loš, tost kruh sa naribanom mrkvom, ponijeti obavezno nešto sa sobom. Nismo došli na visinu kao što je stajalo u opisu aktivnosti, bili 200-njak metara manje. Priroda predivna, staza skroz prihvatljiva za rekreativce, obavezna planinarska obuća.”
