Toegang

Il Ngwesi Eco-Lodge is located about 270 km north of Nairobi. Il Ngwesi can only be reached by car but once you are there you can go on guided walks around the hill. And also in the surrounding nature reserve. You can also explore the reserve by car. It is best to spend a couple of days here because it is a 5 hour drive up here from Nairobi.
