XC Eldorado. (Dec - March / approx. 7 days or more)
Kijabe & Kibini Hill
This Tour is for those who crave a week of pure African Adventure and fun!
​
The trip will start with an Airport Transfer from Nairobi International to our fabulous homespot, named Kijabe Hill , 1.5h north of Nairobi.
Its a great spot for flatland XC. We will stay in a small cottage close to takeoff at 2300m.
​
From there, we will travel a few hours south of Nairobi to a flying spot named Ulu.
We will relax in a cozy cottage and ridge soar over an untouched rainforest, inside an enchanted wildlife conservancy.
​
After Ulu we will travel further south to magical Kibini Hill which juts out of the plains and is flyable from all savanna flatland directions.
Many PBs have been flown from there. We will be camping in the wild, right next to takeoff, with view of Mt Kilimanjaro. A flying spot you will never forget! An absolute treat!
​​
From there we will drive back to Nairobi for your Airport Transfer.
