Northern Nyandarua Crescent Circuit is your resilience chase that forms a crescent shape based on the positioning of the covered peaks.
The hike starts at Geta Bushi and quickly diverts to the right past the forest gate. It follows to the valley where the ascent to Kanyundo Peak begins. Kanyundo Peak is the gateway to the open moorlands where we will proceed straight before diverting right and descending to Maratini Hill Summit.
After a summit moment, we will ascend to Rurimueria and then cross to the Seven Ponds for yet another view of the magical tarns. We will then head to Rhino Hill and finally descend through Table Mountain to Mikeu Shopping Center.
You can descend through the Seven Ponds Trail or Table Mountain Trail. Sweep the popular peaks of Nyandarua in a day.
