Table Mountain, 7 Ponds to Rurimueria Mauano Traverse
Available Dates: Group joining; 18th June, 2022
Private Package: Any day of your choice
Grading: 20Km, Difficult Steep Terrain
Hike Summary
The Northern moorlands of the Aberdares present one of the most scenic and dramatic mountain terrains in Kenya. The range provides the perfect preparation hikes for bigger mountains.
The trail begins at Kwa Matu Centre and after crossing a river begins climbing steeply up barely a kilometer into the hike.
The upper reaches lead on to beautiful craggy rock ridges before giving way to moorland famous for the bog or tussock grass. The ridge becomes gradual in the moorland before leading up the last climb to Table Mountain on the upper reaches.
After table mountain, the trailheads are on a flat continuous ridge towards 7 ponds, a group of 7 small tarns that keep water for the animals when the mountain dries up.
From 7 ponds the trail follows buffalo tracks to the distinct tooth-like ridge that is the Rurimueria summit. After achieving the second summit of the day the trail then descends rapidly towards Geta Bush where the driver will be waiting for you rounding up your 20km Hike.
