Staying in Ngong

Ngong is a town in Kajiado County, southwest of Nairobi and about 20 km away in a straight line. The Ngong Hills stand above the town and shape its weather and its views; the hills are the main feature of the area, and the town works as a base for people who want to sleep outside the capital. The site lists 15 places to stay here, and these are the 3-star ones, ordered by class and guest rating.

These hotels sit along the roads and lanes that thread through the town and its outskirts: Oloolua Road and Samburu Road, Baboon Crescent, Ngong Kibiku Road, Gataka Road, Ole Montet Road, Olepolos Road, Hill Top Lane and Kahara Road, plus several simply addressed to Ngong. That spread suits short-break visitors who want to be in town, couples looking for a quiet address on the edge, and families or groups taking a cottage or apartment-style stay rather than a hotel room.

The shortlist

Ranked by hotel class, then guest rating and number of reviews.

  1. Raf' Rafreel Hotel

    ★★★3.939 reviews

    Oloolua Road

    Why stay hereRaf' Rafreel Hotel sits on Oloolua Road as one of the few 3-star addresses in Ngong with a track record guests can read: 3.9 out of 5 from 39 reviews. That combination of an established rating and a known street makes it a sensible base for travellers who want a straightforward stay in town rather than a guess. Its location suits visitors whose plans centre on Ngong and the roads around it.

  2. Jari Inn Bistro

    ★★★

    Samburu Road

    Why stay hereJari Inn Bistro on Samburu Road carries a 3-star class and pairs lodging with a bistro, so guests can eat where they sleep. It fits travellers who prefer a single address for the night and their meals in Ngong, and who value a named street over an unnamed plot. Choose it if you want a compact, food-on-site arrangement rather than separate stops around town.

  3. Aloha Cottage

    ★★★

    Baboon Cres

    Why stay hereAloha Cottage on Baboon Cres is a 3-star option in Ngong with a cottage setting rather than a hotel block. The address gives guests a specific, identifiable street to navigate by. It suits visitors who want the feel of a small independent place in town — couples, solo travellers or anyone staying a few nights in Ngong who would rather book a cottage than a larger property.

  4. Pec Guest House

    ★★★

    833 Ngong Kibiku Road

    Why stay herePec Guest House occupies a numbered address on 833 Ngong Kibiku Road, a 3-star guest house in Ngong.

  5. Kepro Farm

    ★★★

    Gataka Road Mwai Close Plot No. 5946

    Why stay hereKepro Farm on Gataka Road is a 3-star property set on a farm address rather than a town street. For visitors to Ngong who want a rural edge to their stay — space around them, a working-farm setting named in the address — this is the choice on the list. It suits longer stays and travellers with their own transport, given the plot location off Mwai Close.

    See Kepro Farm
  6. Wasafi Garden & Spa Kibiko

    ★★★

    Ole Montet Rd

    Why stay hereWasafi Garden & Spa Kibiko combines garden grounds, spa facilities and a Kibiko setting on Ole Montet Rd.

Couples and anyone booking a rest-focused stay in the Kibiko area are the natural fit here.

  7. Stay.Plus Ole Den Party House Kajiado

    ★★★

    Ngong

    Why stay hereStay.Plus Ole Den Party House Kajiado is listed in Ngong as a 3-star address, and the name signals a party-oriented house rather than a quiet hotel.

Guests wanting early nights and silence should look elsewhere on this list.

    Ngong

    Why stay hereThe Red Container Off Grid in Ngong is a 3-star stay built around an off-grid concept, as the name states.

    ★★★

    Kahara Road Ngong Kajiado County 00100

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

Ngong is reached by road from Nairobi. The town lies in Kajiado County, southwest of Nairobi, about 20 km away in a straight line. That is the whole of what the site says about reaching it: there is no rail, air or bus detail here, and no journey time is quoted. Once you are in Ngong, the hotels on this shortlist are spread along its roads, from Oloolua Road and Samburu Road in town to Gataka Road, Ole Montet Road and Olepolos Road on the outskirts, so plan on road travel between them.

When to go

The site gives no months, seasons or weather figures for Ngong, so there is no best time stated here. What it does say is that the Ngong Hills stand above the town and shape the weather and the views. The hills are the main feature of the area, so the time you pick is a question of how you want the hills to look and feel above the town rather than anything the site specifies.

Raf' Rafreel Hotel on Oloolua Road is the only hotel on this shortlist with a guest rating: 3.9 out of 5, from 39 reviews. None of the other 3-star properties listed here carries a rating, so there is nothing to compare it with.

Do any of these Ngong hotels have parking?

The supplier records for these hotels list no facilities, so no parking is confirmed for any of them. One property, Heri Ngong Heights Garden Parking Stable WiFi Security, names parking in its own name, but that is not a listed facility. Ask the property directly before you book.

Can I bring a pet to a 3-star hotel in Ngong?

None of the properties on this shortlist lists facilities, so no pet policy is confirmed for any of them. There is no pet information in the data for Raf' Rafreel Hotel, Jari Inn Bistro or the others either. Check with the hotel you choose before travelling with an animal.

Is there a pool or spa at any of these hotels?

Wasafi Garden & Spa Kibiko carries the word spa in its name, but no facilities are listed for it or for any other hotel here, so a pool or spa cannot be confirmed from the data. Treat the name as a name and confirm with the property.

Which of these hotels is best for families?

What kind of stay are the Lux Suites and Stay.Plus properties?

Lux Suites Olepolos Studio Apartments on Olepolos Road, Lux Suites Chapell Hill Apartments, Lux Suites Ole Nairi Holiday Homes on Ole Nairi Drive, Stay.Plus Makey Cozy Homes on Hill Top Lane and Stay.Plus Ole Den Party House Kajiado are apartment or holiday-home style stays rather than hotels, which suits a longer visit with your own living space.
