Aberdares National Park

This highland area will give you a slightly cooler experience in one of Kenya’s only virgin forest reserves. Dramatic waterfalls and deep valleys, contrast with the undulating moorlands and volcanic outcrops.

The birdlife is rich, and although there aren’t as many animals to see in comparison to some of the other game-parks, there is still plenty to see.

A stay at the treehouse hotels – “Treetops” or “The Ark” will let you see a fair number of animals wandering down to the adjacent waterholes and perhaps you’ll see bushbabies and civit and genet cats which are baited each night and come within meters from guests at the bar!
