Tour Cost: $500 (Inclusive motorcycle, gas, Par fees, accommodation and Meals)

Day 1

From our offices, the first destination will be Ngong Forest, through Karinde shopping center off Southern Bypass. This is the point your off-road riding skills will be first tested. Ride some single trails, before heading to Ngong hills, you will be able to see the rest of Ngong town and the city’s skyline on a clear day. Formed on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, Ngong hills are peaks in a ridge located southwest near Nairobi, in southern Kenya. The word “Ngong” is an Anglicization of a Maasai phrase “enkong’u emuny” meaning rhinoceros spring, and this name derives from a spring located near Ngong Town.

From Ngong hills, we will head to Olorgesailie prehistoric site, on our way to Magadi. Here, you will get to learn and see some evidence of early human habitation.

Later on, we will straight head to Magadi. We will stop for a while at the lake for some views of the pink lake and flamingos that have made most of the Rift Valley lakes their home.
After refueling at Magadi, we will ride across the lake, past the Tata Chemicals factory towards Nguruman, where we will be spending the next two nights.
The views along the way are stunning, passing through Krimatian Conservancy, having a glimpse of what to encounter the following day.
Head to Nguruman Waterfront Resort for the night. Have a view of Nguruman escarpment, on the Great Rift Valley.

After a good night sleep, and a great breakfast, it will be time to have a game ride in Krimatian and Shompole conservancies. Here, you will see a variety of wildlife, ranging from antelopes, zebras, wild beasts, giraffes, elephants and a different kinds of birds.
As we chase wild animals in the jungle, we will be heading towards the Kenyan and Tanzania border for a view of Lake Natron.
We will head back to the hotel through Shompole village, where we will have a cold drink as we interact with the local Maasai community shortly. Going back through the conservancies will allow you to have the last glimpse of wildlife for the day before retiring to the hotel.

After an early breakfast, we will back track our way back to Magadi town, fill up our tanks and head to Bisil through one of the most scenic villages of Kajiado County. The view of Nguruman escarpment will be visible throughout the trail, as it is located at the higher side of Lake Magadi.
We will get some snacks in Kajiado town, before hitting the tarmac all the way to Nairobi.
