There are 7 hills, its not a straight climb up but a up and down, even when returning, that makes it more of a challenge, but worth it especially the views. Would recommend.”

“Musa is a fantastic young man from Nairobi & passionate about spreading the knowledge & joy. We took this tour & had him to ourselves since it was low season. It only took us 2hs at an average pace but was beautiful scenery, pretty waterfall & caves. Theres a few hilly bits but its suitable for most to be able to do it, you just may take a little longer & Musa was so patient when we were slow or stopping to look at things. I’d highly recommend him”
