Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Nairobi do Kiambu

Roll out from Nairobi’s CBD and head north toward the cool Kiambu highlands. This roughly 46 km ride strings together mostly quiet roads (with a few short busy connectors), climbs about 540 m, and tops out around 1,820 m. Expect mixed surfaces—mostly paved with some gravel and hard-packed dirt in places—so 32–35 mm tires are ideal and a little caution on rough patches goes a long way.

You’ll skirt green pockets like Karura Forest before the skyline gives way to tea and coffee estates as you approach Kiambu. Fun fact: Nairobi is the only capital city with a full national park at its edge, while Kiambu is famous for its lush tea country and cooler air.

Roll into Kiambu town for a well-earned chai and a bite after the final rollers. Tips: start early to miss the heaviest traffic, be alert on the brief busy sections, and keep an eye out for afternoon showers. The gentle descents into town nicely reward the climbing.
