Dag 3: Ngong Hills en Pumbaa Farmhouse & Cottages

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

The Ngong Hills are a ridge west of Nairobi. It's a long drive from our cottages, but definitely worth it. The park is very busy with Kenyans on weekends, but when we are there it is quiet. There is a walk over the ridge, where you walk over a total of seven mountain peaks. I did the first few with our driver, but if you want to continue you have to go with a “guide”. Guide here stands for a soldier who ensures safety. Today's photos were taken at the cottages and at the Ngong Hills.
