NGONG HILLS HIKE

The Ngong Hills, from the eastside slopes, overlook the Nairobi National Park and, off to the north, the city of Nairobi. The place also offers great picnic sites at the peaks where one can relax with friends and family. The place receives visitors on a daily basis, some come for exercises, others for team building and fun activities such as hiking. The distance between the gates is approximately fourteen kilometers (14km) and it may take individual four (4) to five (5) hours to hike through all the hills. 

The hills are home to a wind power station which was initially commissioned in 1993 with two wind turbines donated by the government of Belgium. Currently the station is known to produce up to 25.5 megawatts of energy.
