Hiking Ngong Hills
Karen Blixen suggested the name “Ngong” came from the Maasai word for “knuckles” and indeed the row of hills do look like a set of knuckles. The full Maasai name for the hills however was ‘Enkong'u-e-nchorro-emuny', which simply proved too difficult for the explorer Joseph Thomson to pronounce and so he named them “Ngong” for short. The Maasai story of how the hills were formed tells of a giant who was stumbling north from Mt Kilimanjaro, who tripped and as he fell stuck his knuckles in the ground leaving the formation we see today.
