A brief walk (1km) with the view of the Rurimeria trail side and still through the unbothered vegetation we get to a rocky viewpoint, Kanyundo. We go off trail, climb it and enjoy the views Kanyundo has to offer.
We continue with the 5km trek with brief ascent, through the unexplored moorland towards the Kiharatini summit, with the constant reminder of being in the wild by coming across mountain antelopes.
After summiting the Kiharatini peak, we go down through the treacherous moorland and head towards the Rurimeria peak. The trek (5km) has a few brief ascents as we join the Rurimeria trail through the famous Mountain Gate. We summit the Rurimeria peak and begin our descent.
