Event Details

Join us for an unforgettable adventure exploring the enchanting Nzaui Hill! 🏞️

Located just off the Machakos-Wote road, Nzaui Hill is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. After reaching the Ukia junction, embark on a 12-kilometer journey down a rugged road until you reach the trailhead.

Nzaui Climb & Hike – A New Adventure Awaits!

We’re expanding our outdoor experiences—this time, we head east to Makueni, a place we know well for hiking but are now exploring for climbing! Nzaui Hill offers an exciting four-pitch climb, blending technical moves with breathtaking scenery.

The Route:



  • Pitch 1 (28m, 18): Follow a left-facing crack before stepping onto a ledge. A steep slab section leads to the anchors.


  • Pitch 2 (25m, 17): Enjoy flowing moves past four bolts, with the angle easing towards the top.


  • Pitch 3 (30m, 13): Traverse a large black slab with solid holds before climbing over grassy ledges to the anchor.


  • Pitch 4 (26m, 10): A scenic finish on a gentle slab with stunning views of Makueni’s landscape.

This adventure is perfect for those looking to elevate their climbing experience while still enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. Are you ready for the challenge? Let’s head to Nzaui!
