Great Hike
My driver (Isaiah) and guide (Samuel) delivered a great experience. It is worth noting that this hike is 14.7 km one way, or 29.4 km both ways with 7 mountains to climb. It is quite a hike. I made it to the first mountain and the scenery was absolutely gorgeous. The guide walked at my pace and explained different landmarks along the way. Overall, I would recommend doing the hike if you enjoy the outdoors.
Response from the operator: Hello traveler, Thank you for writing us a review, it means a lot to us. We are glad to know you enjoyed your hiking and zipline at Ngong hills. Thank you for noting the distance of the hills and for recommending our tour to others. We hope to see you again soon for more of our torus and excursions.

It was amazing. The tour...
It was amazing. The tour guide was helpful and held my backpack while we hiked since it was a moderately challenging hike. Our driver helped us by taking pictures and videos to capture my zip lining—great memories and people.
Response from the operator: Hello Stacy, Thank you for your wonderful review. We are glad to know that you enjoyed your trip at Ngong Hills. I will let the driver and the guide know they were of great help. We hope to see you again soon for more of our tours.

Not a hike for beginners
My driver was on time and very helpful. He knew a lot about the city and was even willing to stop at several places for me. Hiking was very difficult for me because I don’t have experience but the crew was extremely patient and allowed me to go as slow as needed. My teen made it to the top of the first peak (there are 7) and then we turned around. That’s when I found out you do not have to hike to get up to the zip line. In fact, the zip line was back where we parked. This misunderstanding is the only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars. Otherwise, the view was nice, the people were professional, and the zip line was great fun! If you enjoy hiking then you are probably in for a treat. If you are a beginner, ask to skip the hike and just do the zip line.
Response from the operator: Hello traveler, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the zip line, the views, and our helpful team. We appreciate your note about the hike—sorry for the confusion. We'll work on clearer instructions for future guests. Great job to your teen on reaching the first peak! Hope to see you again for more fun—hiking optional!

Hike and Zip line with amazing views
Despite the cloudy start to the hike, I had a wonderful time. I was accompanied by my Day2day tour representative, Joseph and my Maasai guide Edward. Both were great hiking companions. Edward was knowledgeable of the hills, making this experience safe and enjoyable. Good hiking shoes is a must as portion are steep and slippery conditions on wet trails. The zip line was a lot of fun. Amazing views of the valley below!
Response from the operator: Hello traveler, Thank you for leaving a review and we appreciate you for participating in on of our tours. We welcome you again for more of our tours and excursions.

Wonderful experience - would do again in a heartbeat.
Fantastic experience with a lovely tour guide from the Maasai community with whom I had some interesting conversations. Very well organised pick-up and drop-off with Erick. The zipline felt safe and Erick took plenty of photos. The views were breathtaking and it was very manageable for just a morning's excursion from Nairobi. I'll be back next time I visit!
Response from the operator: Thank you for leaving us a wonderful review, we are excited to know that you had a memorable time with our guide throughout your experience, and we welcome you to explore different destinations in the future

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour?
+
Included: Pick up and drop off; Bottled water; and Zipline entry fee. Not included: Tea and coffee; Gratuities; Items of personal nature; and Bike cycling fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Nairobi: Ngong Hills Hiking & Zipline Adventure Day Tour offered in?
+
