Northern Nyandarua Circuit – Bundled Ticket
The Nyandarua Ranges (Aberdares) are known for their high altitude, rolling moorland, and breathtaking views, yet hiking through most of the trails is an arduous task. The Northern Nyandarua Circuit moorland trails are especially scenic, featuring kilometers upon kilometers of shimmering golden moorland. However, getting to the scenic moorland is a whole different story.
This quarter we immerse ourselves into the Northern Nyandarua trails, hoping to conquer ourselves, one trail at a time. We kickstart the adventure on June 5 by cutting across the Rurimeria steep trail, through its boggy moorland, to get to the Rurimeria peak. Next, we head to the Seven Ponds trail, Table Mountain’s twin sister, on June 19 and conquer her steep-steep ascent. Finally, we finish off the Northern Nyandarua circuit by conquering ourselves on the Oldoinyo Lesatima peak via the less-frequented Wandare trail on July 17.
