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. Message our local booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation to tailor your paragliding experience.
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.
