3 Days Hiking Safari In Kenya
The Nguruman escarpment rises 2,300m from the plains of Kajiado only at 900m above sea level. This spectacular 1,300m wall forms an interesting ecosystem of forests, rivers, waterfalls, and dry savannah bushland. Our adventure starts with a drive down past Ngong Hills, Oloroka range, Mt. Olorgesailie to the pink lake of Magadi. There are pockets of remote forests, wide open plains surrounded by the stunning hillsides and dotted with roaming wildlife. This isn’t an area for viewing big game but more somewhere to enjoy the scenery, walk with the local Maasai and learn more about their culture and communities. The best way to explore Africa is by walking, hiking, cycling and visiting our cultural communities. This is your best time to explore and discover Africa!!

Leave the camp very early in the morning at 5h30 to Nguruman Escarpment. Hiking time varies from 5 to 6 hours depending on your starting point, time and pace. Elevation goes from 750m to about 2000m above sea level. The trail first takes you through a river crossing strewn with rocks and fallen decaying trees felled by the river during rainy seasons. Soon after, the trail becomes steep as you work your way to the upper reaches of the escarpment. As you climb higher, you get amazing views of the settlement below, the Ewaso Ng’iro, the distant Lake Magadi and various hills. The trail levels off briefly only to get steep again as you make the final push to the vicinity of the waterfalls. Interestingly, the waterfalls offer excellent swimming opportunities to cool off as you enjoy the scenery as you approach the waterfalls, you will get off the trail at some point and go down a hairy vertical descent of about 10m through forest undergrowth to access the river and waterfalls below. The experience of edging down the sheer drop, clinging for dear life onto every root and branch within reach, is as memorable as the sight of the waterfalls at the bottom.
