@@DaveMani thank u so much. I wonder can you buy property out that way?

Remember climbing those hills many times before moving abroad. Was raised in Ngong town. Thank you for reminiscing my childhood @Dave and Trace!

[@DaveMani]

Thats great :)

[@troppe4295]

I stayed in Kiserian and Ongata Rongai and visited Ngong often. But I didn't get a chance to hike. A few years ago when I visited home and went to the Kibiko prayer Center, I should have but didn't.

[@Inspiringagenerationofwinners]

So proud of u guys ! My buddy flew from Ohio early this month to climb my Kilimanjaro. He was so proud of the achievement. He said it was a challenge but definitely worth it Sending lots of cheer and support from Ohio.

[@DaveMani]

Thank you so much! It will be quite a challenge but it will also be very rewarding! 👍🏼

[@lydiarun254]

The hills’s view is amazing as you can see mt. kilimanjaro, mt. longonot , mt. Suswa , oletepesi hills and Nairobi city and neighborhood suburbs. Running here is tough or even hikers or walkers for first time visitors has you come back again it gets better. I have been here several times and feel awesome after the run. Thank you for sharing your experience 😊

[@DaveMani]

It's a great spot for sure! 100%

[@onyangopeter319]

Nice seeing you people managing the 7 peaks

[@DaveMani]

We made it haha :P

[@sokosawa297]

Brings back memories, hiked all the peaks. Took a bus from the other side then hiked up again to the third peak to meet my group that could not make it. About 20 years ago, there were only 3 windmills then. None of many other hikes I have done in california beats that experience!

[@DaveMani]

Thats awesome! Life is all about those memories. :)

Love the video. You both brought back great memories & it was free to roam in those days. My friends & I all got dressed up in black tie & the girls in evening dresses. We all had lunch around a table after driving it almost to the top of 1st Ngong hill in my Dads old Merc. We offered a Maasia. chocolate moose who found it disgusting. Fun days & fantastic views. 👍

Great memories :p

Woow, I love this Dave. The content is awesome. Good job Manis' . Keep it up...your going far

[@DaveMani]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@marcrcbally]

The more you can exercise at high altitude, the better you should fair on Kilimanjaro. It is really only the last part where you start at 2-3 am for that final steep climb up the scree that is hard mostly due to the lack of oxygen. Best of luck, it is an accomplishment you can be proud of.

[@DaveMani]

We will keep training for the best few months! 💪🏼

[@Charleslimited]

Go Tracy,I remember doing this hike 11yrs ago,I need to go back there and do it once again

[@DaveMani]

Thats great :)

The jealousy in Dave's voice when he's talking about the guy who offered to carry Tracey . 13:08 . haha

[@DaveMani]

Hahaha :p

[@mutuadan]

Nice one Dave and Tracey. Physical activity isn't about the body but the mind. If you manage to control the negative emotions you achieve your physical activity goals. It's so easy to give up mentally.

[@DaveMani]

That is very true!

Thanks for the vlog. 👍 Nice intro. 👍 Music 🎶👍 Beautiful Landscape views from all of the peaks. Go Go Go Tracy... Congrats on your training achievement.👏🏻 Watched the vlog and immediately remembered the date night vlog mentioned at the end where you looked refreshed you would've never thought you had hiked earlier in the day... The wind farm. 👍 Dave fears wind turbines. They have got to be checked and maintained. Was Tracy kidding regarding the cows? Did you get any new subscribers? Did you meet any subscribers? Thanks for all the information. Have a good afternoon and weekend. Have a good month. Stay safe.

[@DaveMani]

She was not kidding haha she is always a little scared! And yes we always get new subs everyday :)

Hi if you need a good guide for Kili drop me a line. Our guide in 2007 was Moses Kashumba who also led us up the Mountains of the Moon in 2011 and Mount Kenya in 2015. Moses is a Tanzanian. I was 63 when we went up Kili. Moses is the best guide and a true gentleman. I am aiming to climb Mount Kenya for my 80th in 2024.

This is impressive guys and I am happy you guys made it to ngong hills 💯💯🎉 Just an advice for Mount Kilimanjaro - You should research on when there is no windstorms at the top of Kilimanjaro which can be pretty hectic strong cold wind . A couple friend of mine did it on a wrong day and since they were vlogging they had it all in the video . Kindly check out there video through this link to see what I mean with the strong windstorms kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKqkc2mPp9Rqptk Peace and love ❤️

[@martino6205]

Dennys Finch Hatton is buried up there. Some white families from Karen also like doing cremations up there. You should try hiking Elephant Hill and Mt Satima in the Aberdares, a good training ground for Kilimanjaro conditions. Then Ol Doinyo Sabuk hills on McMillan's farm are good hiking spots too.

[@DaveMani]

I did not know that. Didn't see any grave up there.

[@anonymouskenyan777]

Tracy you need a lot of training for Kilimanjaro it will take you two weeks to climb it otherwise you'll spit your intestines out hihihi

i recall the last time i went there with some friends... we started at the KWS pay point (gate) and walked all the way to Kona Baridi on the other side. Then took a vehicle back to from there... Our bodies were aching for days hahaha. It was worth it though.. Going to the last hill and back is twice the work than just going all the way
