Nairobi - Karatina - Naromoru - Nanyuki - Meru - Maua.
You do not have to go through Nyeri.
The Embu route? Very hilly, hair pins, increases journey time and fuel consumed but very very scenic. Godspeed.

I use these two routes quite often.

Use the Nanyuki route if you want to get there faster but cover longer distance.

The Embu route is shorter and scenic but there 72 bumps (yes, I have counted) between Embu and Meru. A distance of approx. 100km. Kindly drive slowly while on this route!

I think they are over 80, and they are quite big. I remember some mpigs complaining on the issue.

Harry, go via Nanyuki, its faster, then come back via the scenic Embu.....ukitoka maua chukua kangeta kilo uone hizo bumps ziki-flatten.

nairobi-embu-chuka-meru maua. Its quite hilly but has a nice view. About the bumbs it true they are quite many, however they are now made of tar kitambo they were like big mountains on the road(made of clusterd stones covered with murram/soil)gari ilikuwa inaumia! stop overs- u can try jambo park it past Nkubu before u fika Gatimbi.

The bumps can be a problem if you use a low wheelbase vehicle.

wewe @safariant bure kabisa!! why would one go to Isiolo from Chuka then down to Maua??

better say

Nairobi-karatina-kiganjo-nanyuki-Isiolo-Maua ... that would make sense. And tn Isiolo-muriri-miciimikuru road has very little trafic if any.

And if you choose the Nairobi-embu-meru-maua route try to branch at Chogoria to enjoy some very beautiful scenes. Thus Nairobi-embu-chuka-chogoria-kionyo-meru-maua. the chogoria-kionyo-meru section is very scenic you must have someone to take some pictures..... and drive slooowly on this section. safe journey.
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

I meant via Nanyuki - Isiolo - Maua. Good road, low traffic volume.
