Mt Kilimambogo hike is an excellent hike to start you off hiking. Mt Kilimambogo means “The mountain of buffaloes.” It is located within the Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park, off the Thika-Garissa highway. It is within Machakos county, just across the border from Kiambu county, and stands at an altitude of 7,040ft asl. The mountain is visible for the most part from along Thika Road.

Mt Kilimambogo hike provides a great experience owing to the beautiful views along the trail. A paved road up to the summit and a steeper footpath make you push yourself harder than when you follow the road. Along the trail, you pass by Lord MacMillan’s burial site. You also enjoy amazing views of surrounding farms and the park from several strategic viewpoints.

The hiking trail from the starting point is 7 km long. Altogether, Mt Kilimambogo is a manageable hike for the average person and kids over 6 years.
