It is a wonderful escape from the bustling city life and is well-loved for hiking, picnicking, and its unique landscape. Recently, the area has also become famous for ziplining, adding an adventurous element to its natural appeal. Ngong Hills is a wonderful location for relaxation and adventure, offering breathtaking views, hiking trails, and a variety of outdoor activities. The addition of ziplining in the area has made it an exciting destination for thrill-seekers, making it a perfect choice for day trips from Nairobi. Whether you want to hike, picnic, or try ziplining, Ngong Hills offers something for everyone.....and I would like to give a shoutout to my driver and guard (francis) for the memories he took of me during the trip..NB he is a good photographer, I would recommend him to anyone anytimeWritten December 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- deirdre d1 contributionWhat a trip, it was simply magnificent! Gordie and Felicia have created a beautiful experience. Their attention to every detail made it truly perfect. From the immaculately prepared camps, (hot showers and laundry!) cocktails around a campfire, to the elegant dinners by candlelight, after dinner stories, sleeping to the sounds of hippos and lions and waking up to the lovely staff bringing coffee to us in bed. It was beyond all my expectations.
Best of all were the wonderfully schooled horses, so kind, generous and happy to take care of an assortment of riders. Really professional! If you prefer to ride in the car and see even more wildlife, that option includes a very knowledgable guide who managed to find something wonderful in every drive. and he was a bottomless source of information.
This is an amazing trip! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!! You'll regret it if you don't.Written October 7, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a world apart from the usual casino experience. Even as a casual gamblel, I felt right at home. The excitement was palpable, and I was lucky ehough to hit a win. It's a must-visit for anyone seeking a thrilling night out.Written September 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Expat KateNairobi, Kenya306 contributionsThis is a new personal record for me. I conquered Elephant Hill in 4 hours. The inclement weather would NOT break the goal I had set for today. Today, I was very determined to be among the Subaru team 😅.

We arrived at about 11am on a weekday and our family of 6 were the only guests. Yes the track and cars are not the best and the uniforms are run down. That's part of the thrill. It's like safari rally of karting versus formula 1. We always have a great time here. Food and drinks were good and the staff were accommodating. Definitely stop by if you're in Langata area.Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sandra MMadrid, Spain8 contributionsFrom the beginning till the end, our safari with Palm & Acacia was an amazing experience. I will recommend it without doubt. Sharing this experience with Kalaa has been great, I can affirm that he is the most popular guide in Kenya, hehe!Written October 10, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- William P4 contributionsThe company that was supposed to bring the car to the airport early in the morning screwed up. An emergency phone call to Modan and 45 minutes later we were on our way in a rental car. We got a Toyota Harrier in very good condition.
Customer service at a very good level. Good contact by phone and whatsapp. A small misunderstanding about the need to wash the car before returning it does not change the fact that in my opinion Modan is definitely a good choice.Written February 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was slightly nervous about booking with a tour operator prior to arrival in the country, but they were beyond reliable and helpful at every step of the journey.
Our safari guide Michael was incredibly knowledgeable, drove very well and ensured we had a great time. We were dropped by Michael to the train station at Voi, and he ensured we had our tickets and were safely inside the terminal before leaving. On arrival in Mombasa a driver was waiting for us, and once we were in the car, Michael called to ensure we had been picked up.
The safari itself was brilliant. We saw lions, elephants, buffalo, zebra, giraffes and many more animals and birds. Michael’s knowledge ensured we made the most of the times in the parks and that we saw as much as possible. His driving also kept us safe.
The accommodation was good. The first night we stayed at Sentrim Amboseli, which was comfortable with charming staff, but the rooms and bathrooms could benefit from refurbishment. Our second night was at Kilaguni Serena lodge which was amazing. The restaurant looking over a watering hole was a particular high point. We saw an elephant having a bath whilst we ate dinner!
Our final night was at Ashnil Aruba, the rooms and staff here were great, but the atmosphere of the hotel was much busier and less “special” than kilaguni.
Overall an amazing trip and would highly recommend this company.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This gives you a chance to be creative, a problem solver, engage in team work, think outside the box etc. It is actually not easy to escape :-) , I will go back and try to actually escape.Written December 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

About the driver - he is great) Ian Kandie - calm and experienced, he knew where to go to see the animals and how to choose the best angle :) He told a lot about the nature of Kenya and the customs of Kenyans.

- Jiri C1 contributionThis year (2024) in the spring, we bought tickets to Nairibi and only then did we start thinking about how we would fill the total of 10 days at the end of October. Kenya = safari and swimming in the Indian Ocean. So we started looking for ways to visit these treasures. Individual hiking without a guide for a family with 2 children is not popular in Kenya. So we were looking for a contact and we got a tip from a friend about an agency that supposedly "works" and so we contacted Julius Tact Safaris.
And right from the start, we have to say that they really work and we will recommend Julius further.
On the one hand, he put together a very nice plan of the trip for us and, most importantly, he arranged amazing places and accommodation. In Nairobi, the driver Georg picked us up at the hotel and he took care of us throughout the trip and showed us fantastic things. We were looking forward to seeing an animal, but what Georg showed us was really much more than we would have imagined, it was dreamy. The Big Five in 5 hours!
In addition, we were amazed that Georg knew it very well in all places, he told amazing information about each animal, he predicted what the animals would do and he responded sensitively to our wishes. In addition, he was a really good driver, friends with everyone in all the places he took us to – and that we visited a lot in those 6 days. Georg, thank you, it was great.
Julius, the whole trip exceeded our expectations and thank you very much. Next time (no worries) we will vote for JT Safatis again.Written November 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I am somewhere between an advanced intermediate and advanced rider, so it is a joy to ride gorgeous,well mannered and well-trained horses in the same places as Karen Blixen did many years ago. Anja and her staff are incredibly kind, the tack is in fine fettle and the scenery is varied and lovely. If you are a beginner, the staff are able to allow more advanced riders to canter while you get your sea legs and move at your own pace. The ride we took allowed us to view the Great Rift Valley, local farms, and share the road with everything from busloads of kids to piki piki motorcycles to goats. The good news is that these horses are largely bomb-proof, given the level of noise that they encounter on the roadway, which is very soothing for those unaccustomed to riding next to busy roads. That, however is brief, and it's not long before you're adventuring to see Kenyan villages, or going for a lively trot or sweet canter. Anja is a journalist, and as a fellow journalist I love her lively intelligence and conversation. If you are staying a while and want to brush up on your eventing skills, Malo is the place, and according to Anja, polo season revs up around her in April and May. I plan to be back around then for the festivities. In all ways, if you are a horse person, or simply want to ride in a world made famous by Out of Africa, this is your stable.Written September 27, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
