Good to know before you book
Allow about 25-35 minutes to the trailhead area near Ngong town, depending on traffic and which section you're hiking.
The hills can be windy and cooler than Karen, bring layers.
We don't arrange hiking guides ourselves; check locally at the trailhead or with a tour operator for current access and guide information.
