Overview

Fly tandem above the Rift Valley near Nairobi

Launch from one of the hills on the edge of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, a scenic drive from Nairobi, and glide above the valley floor with views over Lake Naivasha, the Aberdare Range, and the surrounding highlands. A certified tandem pilot handles takeoff, flight, and landing, so no experience is required.

Suitable for first-time flyers as well as thrill-seekers wanting a faster, more dynamic flight. Customize your day flexibly: a short scenic glide or a longer flight with photography included.

About

Take in the Great Rift Valley from the Air near Nairobi

The hills on the edge of the Rift Valley escarpment near Nairobi offer some of the most accessible tandem paragliding launch sites in Kenya, with flights typically running 7 to 30 minutes depending on conditions and package.

Paragliding in Kenya has grown steadily since the late 2010s, with these sites considered beginner-friendly compared to more advanced flying areas further from the capital. Certified pilots follow standards set by the Paragliding Association of Kenya, and no jumping or prior fitness is required, just a short running launch.

The best flying conditions generally fall between December and March, and June and September, when winds and thermals are most reliable. Many visitors pair a flight with a stop at Lake Naivasha or a highland lunch on the way back to Nairobi.

I just completed a 22-day trip through Madagascar, including Morondaba, Tsingy, Belo Sur, Ifaty, Ranohira, Ranomafana, and the Pangalanes Channel, among other places. The overall experience was good, except for a minor initial disagreement regarding the agreed-upon price and some unexpected hotel changes. Communication with them is always quick and easy, and the payment method is secure. A special mention goes to our driver and guide, Antsa, a true gem. Besides being an excellent driver, he was always kind, friendly, helpful, and committed to making everything easier.

The tour was interesting, and the driver was good. However, we feel the travel agency should have informed us in advance about the guides who wait at the park entrances and accompany tourists to geysers and waterfalls. The booking confirmation made no mention of this at all; it only stated that park entrance fees, food, and drinks were not included. When we have no idea how much the guide’s services will cost, we don't know how much cash to bring, since credit cards aren't accepted in places like that.
