Join us for an unforgettable adventure exploring the enchanting Nzaui Hill! 🏞️
Located just off the Machakos-Wote road, Nzaui Hill is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. After reaching the Ukia junction, embark on a 12-kilometer journey down a rugged road until you reach the trailhead.
Begin your trek with a scenic 2-kilometer stroll through lush fruit farms, setting the perfect tone for the adventure ahead. As you ascend, be prepared to traverse through thick bushes and young pine trees along the cattle routes.
The trail boasts numerous viewpoints offering breathtaking 360-degree panoramas of the surrounding Soysambu and Mbooni Hills. Immerse yourself in the heavenly vegetation and keep your eyes peeled for the playful antics of Columbus monkeys swinging from tree to tree.
Midway through the hike, discover a deserted campsite nestled amidst ancient ruins. Here, the tranquility and melodious chirping of birds create an idyllic setting, perfect for a rest stop or overnight camping experience.
The pinnacle of the journey awaits at the summit, 13 kilometers into the hike. Sit atop the majestic Nzaui Rock and soak in the serene ambiance, letting the peace of the surroundings envelop you.
Prepare for the descent with a 6-kilometer stretch to the other side of the hill. The rocky terrain demands focus and concentration as you navigate the steep slopes. With a total trail length of 19 kilometers, this moderately difficult trek typically takes 7-8 hours to complete. From Nairobi, it's just 140 kilometers away, making it an accessible adventure for all outdoor enthusiasts.
Join us as we embark on this exhilarating journey and uncover the natural wonders of Nzaui Hill. Don't miss out on an opportunity to experience nature at its finest! 🌿🥾 #NzauiHillAdventure #ExploreNature #HikingExperience
