Here is the place to stay before hiking Ngong Hills! ➡️ th-cam.com/video/OtdT1PE1vg4/w-d-xo.html
Remember climbing those hills many times before moving abroad. Was raised in Ngong town. Thank you for reminiscing my childhood @Dave and Trace!
Thats great :)
I stayed in Kiserian and Ongata Rongai and visited Ngong often. But I didn't get a chance to hike. A few years ago when I visited home and went to the Kibiko prayer Center, I should have but didn't.
So proud of u guys ! My buddy flew from Ohio early this month to climb my Kilimanjaro. He was so proud of the achievement. He said it was a challenge but definitely worth it
Sending lots of cheer and support from Ohio.
Thank you so much! It will be quite a challenge but it will also be very rewarding! 👍🏼
The jealousy in Dave's voice when he's talking about the guy who offered to carry Tracey . 13:08 . haha
Hahaha :p
I did Ngong last year. Went through all the 7 peaks and back. It was fun. All the best in your Kilimanjaro preparation.
Thank you :)
Brings back memories, hiked all the peaks. Took a bus from the other side then hiked up again to the third peak to meet my group that could not make it. About 20 years ago, there were only 3 windmills then. None of many other hikes I have done in california beats that experience!
Thats awesome! Life is all about those memories. :)
@@DaveMani totally 👍
The more you can exercise at high altitude, the better you should fair on Kilimanjaro. It is really only the last part where you start at 2-3 am for that final steep climb up the scree that is hard mostly due to the lack of oxygen. Best of luck, it is an accomplishment you can be proud of.
We will keep training for the best few months! 💪🏼
making me miss home soo much i left two weeks ago for uni kinda saddd soo happy i can watch you guys representing kenya honestly ur videos will help me get though this yearrr..... ive been to the 4th highest peck i think once in 2019
Thats great tho! All the best with Uni mu friend.
Congrats Tracey and lets do Mt KIlimanjaro Dave, most of us have been to Mt. kenya.... maaan i cant wait, am excited
We will do both im sure :)
@@DaveMani also do Mt. Longonot
A complete mind sport. Just embrace the quiet and one foot in front of the other .Stay " present" Embrace the present
Thats is very very true!
Go Tracy!!!
She did good :)
Woow, I love this Dave. The content is awesome. Good job Manis' . Keep it up...your going far
Thank you so much!! :)
Nice seeing you people managing the 7 peaks
We made it haha :P
Go Tracy,I remember doing this hike 11yrs ago,I need to go back there and do it once again
Thats great :)
Go! Go! Go! Goooooooooooo Tracey....you can do it.. we used to do these hills as kids. You can do it.🥰🥰
You guys did so well...you did so good 👍 👏 ..
Congrats.
Thank you so much! :)
@@DaveMani
Karibuuuu sana...
Going the seven hills and coming back....is not a joke!
Sooo looking forward to Kilimanjaro...
Nice one Dave and Tracey.
Physical activity isn't about the body but the mind.
If you manage to control the negative emotions you achieve your physical activity goals.
It's so easy to give up mentally.
That is very true!
Love the video. You both brought back great memories & it was free to roam in those days. My friends & I all got dressed up in black tie & the girls in evening dresses. We all had lunch around a table after driving it almost to the top of 1st Ngong hill in my Dads old Merc. We offered a Maasia. chocolate moose who found it disgusting. Fun days & fantastic views. 👍
Great memories :p
Go Go Go Gooooo! 🥳 Tracey!
Yeah!!!
I’ve never hiked ngong hills but have done mt longonot when I was still in Kenya…thanks for bringing back good memories 💕
You should try it when you can :)
Go! Go! Go Tracey! You can do it
Yeah :p
Hope you get a chance to do a video on baking those biscuits. I love blueberry ones though
Haha not really pur kinda video! :p ask Tracey for the recipe tho!
Go Tracy Go! You did it!!!! 🤩
She did great! 💪🏼😍
ngong is grate, was there few weeks back.
Hope you enjoyed :p
You've been to Kenya but haven't climbed Mt.Kenya lol you won't regret it.
I can spend all my free time watching you guys.
Love you💞💞
We will be doing Kili first this year and probably Mt kenya next year.
My village mountain Ngong hills
Beautiful
Fun!! I've run so many marathons over the years, so I can sympathize with you Tracey. So many times I've struggled the first 75% of a marathon, then just breezed through. The best was running the NYC marathon while pregnant.... run Tracey, run 🏃♀️. Or in this case.. HIKE Tracey HIKE you can do it ❤❤
You are very right! Also I would love to run a marathon one day! 😬👍🏼
Wow i love my country's beauty
It is! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Maintain the spirit guys! stay strong.
Always!!
Go Tracey, go, go. Go Tracey!
Yeah!!
Welcome to our home
Thanks :)
GO! GO! GO! Tracy!!!! Kilimanjaro is waiting!😅😅
👍🏼
Pole pole actually translates to slowly because pole means sorry. I love your videos and looking forward to your Mt. Kilimanjaro climb.
Thanks Catt :)
Have done Ngong hills twice, Mt longonot, Shimba hills, Nyambene hills and looking forward to do Mt Kenya before the end of this year.
Thats awesome! Keep it up :P
Thanks for the vlog. 👍 Nice intro. 👍 Music 🎶👍 Beautiful Landscape views from all of the peaks. Go Go Go Tracy... Congrats on your training achievement.👏🏻 Watched the vlog and immediately remembered the date night vlog mentioned at the end where you looked refreshed you would've never thought you had hiked earlier in the day... The wind farm. 👍 Dave fears wind turbines. They have got to be checked and maintained. Was Tracy kidding regarding the cows? Did you get any new subscribers? Did you meet any subscribers? Thanks for all the information. Have a good afternoon and weekend. Have a good month. Stay safe.
She was not kidding haha she is always a little scared! And yes we always get new subs everyday :)
Ohh wow,I was there in July last year,was good hiking,beautifull View from up there,all the best for the kilimanjaro climbing👍
Thank you so much :)
Beautiful Home,hope you saw the Great Rift valley extension on the lee ward side of the hills
Yeah its beautiful
Walking the footsteps of Meryl Streep and other cast and crew of "Out Of Africa" Hollywood blockbuster. Location and setting was in parts of the Ngong Hills and Karen-Nairobi
It’s beautiful!
You guys are awesome couple 💑 ,you always put kenya 🇰🇪 in a differen perspective outside here than the way people have known it before. Job well done. I will subscribe your channel now although I have been your fun since day one.
Thank you so much! We do our best to showcase Kenya in a positive way! 👍🏼❤️
You guys should do Mt kenya
We will. 100%
*Can't wait for the Mount Kilimanjaro one, Ngong' is done next one should Mt Kenya coz its not as high as Kilimanjaro so that by the time you gonna be heading to Kili then you'll be fully ready for it.*
Its gonna be challenging but we are super excited about it :)
Congrats Team!am hiking from the comfort of my seat lol!
Haha love it :p
I agree, the wind turbines really spoil the look of the hills.
I do agree.
@@DaveMani especially when one remembers that these were the charming hills immortalized by Karen Blixen in "Out of Africa".
My home town. Congrats.
Thanks :)
My pals and I did it a couple of years ago and it seriously did us in! We did 14 hills like you all....let's just say the massages after were heeeeeven on earth
Hahaha I bet!!!
I’m familiar with a Ngong hill ! i can’t wait to watch this !
It was such a fun hike. Challenging but fun!
@@DaveMani looked awesome! wish i was there to give it a try!
Amazing landscape
Thats for sure!
I strongly agree with you at least they should label the hills
Next time proceed to kona Baridi gate then back to starting point
Signs would for sure be great! Haha
My home! I love those hills!
Beautiful region of Kenya :)
Entertaining video. One of the few locations in Kenya they shot ‘out of Africa’
That is true! :p There and crescent Island too.
Go go go Tracey you can do it...
Yeah! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi if you need a good guide for Kili drop me a line. Our guide in 2007 was Moses Kashumba who also led us up the Mountains of the Moon in 2011 and Mount Kenya in 2015. Moses is a Tanzanian. I was 63 when we went up Kili. Moses is the best guide and a true gentleman. I am aiming to climb Mount Kenya for my 80th in 2024.
That is amazing. Best of luck in 2024!
Thats awesome! I will look him up. Thanks 👍🏼
Gooooooooooo!
Yeah! 😎😎😎
Go go go Tracy Go!!!!
She did it! 👍🏼😬
Hiked Ngong hill in 2021 before going to a foreign land I miss this place. I was going through negative thoughts in my life and I went there to meditate.
It`s a great hike for sure. :D
Go, go, go Tracy! You can make it!💪💪
Yes! Thank you!
That must have been a sweaty trip!! Onwards…
Oh yes it was! Haha
Wow waiting to never let me down 😅😅 please always supporting u just like a fun from Chalbi desert Kenya welcome our pride of
Can't wait to visit Chalbi Desert!!!
I think this is one of your best videos....go go go go Tracy... you can do it
😅😅😅😅
Wow thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
Kily climb is is all about altitude sickness. Anything above 10,000 feet, is a struggle, altitude sickness affects different people in different ways.
That's for sure.
I was there in November 2021 it was super fun
That's awesome! :P
I did Ngong hills twice as prep hikes for both Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro..It’s great prepping for the mountains…Elephant hill should be another prep hike you do before Kilimanjaro
We really want to do Elephant hills as well!
@@DaveMani can’t wait for your Kilimanjaro vlog .. having done it , it will be so exciting to watch it from your perspective!!😊
Go go Tracy.. you gonna make it😀
She did great :)
Go Tracy! Go Tracy!
Oh yeah! :p
Dennys Finch Hatton is buried up there. Some white families from Karen also like doing cremations up there. You should try hiking Elephant Hill and Mt Satima in the Aberdares, a good training ground for Kilimanjaro conditions. Then Ol Doinyo Sabuk hills on McMillan's farm are good hiking spots too.
I did not know that. Didn't see any grave up there.
Reminds me of when my siblings and I went there and we bought Lollipops from the kids who were selling. good memories😊
Thats awesome! We did see them.
All the best climbing Mt Kilimanjaro - to boost your morale carry enough chapatis🙃
Chapatis will be my fuel! 🤣🤣🤣
I was raised in Ngong Town Born and raised proud of both of you now in Toronto Canada Cheers Go Tracy Go you can do this Girl
Thats awesome! 😬👍🏼
Go go go Tracy. 🚶♀️
Yeah!
Go go go!
YEAH!!!
Tracy you need a lot of training for Kilimanjaro it will take you two weeks to climb it otherwise you'll spit your intestines out hihihi
Haha we'll take 4-5 days. She can do it!! 💪🏼
Go Tracy!Go Tracy!Go.....🙂
She did great!! :)
Go go go Tracy!
Yeah!!!
Thank you for the great videos
Cheers :)
Go go.go Tracy
Cheers
I can relate to your phobia of those wind turbines! 😅😅😅
THANK YOU!!!!! 😅
i recall the last time i went there with some friends... we started at the KWS pay point (gate) and walked all the way to Kona Baridi on the other side. Then took a vehicle back to from there... Our bodies were aching for days hahaha. It was worth it though..
Going to the last hill and back is twice the work than just going all the way
Hahaha It for sure can be quite challenging! :P
I went the whole stretch (about 17kms) and back. Total could be 30 -34kms. Took me close to 7hrs 😂
Good job, coz I know I'm too lazy for this😭
Hahah it can be a lot of work
go go go go go Tracy
Oh yeah! Go Go Go
Go go go Tracy
Oh yeah :p
Go tracy, it's a challenge
She did great! We are climbing Mt Kilimajaro in 3 days! Haha That will be next level!
Great video. I actually live in Ngong town. What camera do you use?
This was actually filmed with a GoPro Hero 9
you should climb mount kenya too
We will too 👍🏼
As a Kenyan....they don't really want to carry her 😂😂 you know what I mean dude 😂😂🎉
Loll
Thanks for this video. My husband has done this hike but I have not, I think I will go with him next time. I am now convinced that there are no buffaloes along the route it looks clear. Very beautiful views all around. How far were you from Kona Baridi before you turned back?
We went all the way to the antenna which is the peak of the last hill.
congrats for tackling the 7 peaks... twice woo hoo:)
Thanks!! It was challenging for sure.
My next month plan, 4th time climbing those hills. 🤓.
Great work!!
go go go Tracey!
Yeah! 😎😎😎
1st person to comment and am actually from ngong
Thanks a lot for watching my friend :)
I love ngong hills but I hate the first time I climbed, I started on the way down from Ngong Town it was hell, Again you have mentioned something very IMPORTANT they should put some signs to let you know like you are on what Hill. My first climb was 2011 and its a shame to see they haven't done it up to now.
Signs would truly help haha! At the beginning there is a few smaller hills and everytime I was like... did this one count??? 😅
Great job guys
Thank you :)
I couldn't help but notice the image of lord Jagannath at your gate 0:49
I'll have a look.
Great
Dave you've stamina.. Go Tracey! :)
I love these kinda thing :p
Have you done Mt. Kenya? Its a great 3 days Hike
Not yet but we will.
go go go go tracy
She did it!! 😍👍🏼
I like ngong...it's micro climate is just different
True. Great spot :)
Its good doing exercise sometimes
For sure! I workout everyday :)
The urban slang for "pole pole" is "mos mos". Just so you may use it in the next video or hike. 😊
Nice
Motivated to climb Ngong Hills😜
Let's gooo!
Made it to peak two and could not go any further...I was sooo tired!
Next time you'll do 3! 👍🏼
My fav spot
We loved it too :)
