Table Mountain (Aberdares) Hike

And in March 2026, I felt the need to go back and explore a hike in the Aberdares, this time it was Table Mountain.

Aberdares weather is usually unpredictable but anytime you are above 1,000m, it is always critical to dress warm. Don’t let the morning weather/sun deceive you.

Start of the trail

There are 2 ways to get to the summit. Either through 7 ponds summit which is quite gentle and beginner friendly. However, if you chose the direct route to Table mountain summit, it is quite steep. Of course I chose the latter.

It was a grueling 4 hours to the summit and about 2 and a half hours down, but I made it and got a view of Lake Olobosolat. Can’t wait for my body to stop aching this week!

      Good stuff. The reason it’s called Table mountain is because the summit is on a relatively flat top.
