Rurimeria hill - Aberdare range hike on a budget in Kenya

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.

Rurimeria combines a beautiful expansive moorland with a dramatic hiking experience, taking you past three false summits before getting to the actual summit — at 3,860m ASL. Despite being the third highest peak on the Aberdares, its trail is the longest, most exhausting in the Aberdare ranges. And that’s what makes conquering it so rewarding!


Rurimeria hill is 3,860m asl with an altitude of 12,670ft. It’s the third-highest Hill of the seven Aberdares ranges.
