Aberdare National Park

Experience the Enchanting Wilderness of Kenya’s Highlands

Aberdare National Park promises an experience unlike anywhere else in Kenya.

Unique Wildlife Experiences

One of Aberdare’s most unique features is its tree lodges, such as The Ark and Treetops, which offer unparalleled opportunities to view wildlife up close. These lodges are built near waterholes and salt licks, where animals gather to drink and feed. From the comfort of your lodge, you can watch elephants, buffaloes, and even leopards in their natural habitat, creating unforgettable memories. Adventure and Exploration Aberdare National Park is a paradise for adventurers. The park’s diverse landscapes offer a range of activities, from hiking and mountain climbing to fishing in its crystal-clear streams. The Moorland trails provide a chance to explore the park’s high-altitude ecosystems, while the Salient area is perfect for game drives and picnics. For a truly unique experience, try night game viewing from the safety of your lodge, where you can spot nocturnal animals like bushbabies and genets. Unforgettable Experiences Tree Lodge Stays: Spend the night at iconic lodges like The Ark or Treetops, where wildlife comes to you. Hiking and Trekking: Explore the park’s trails, from dense forests to open moorlands, with stunning views of waterfalls and peaks. Fishing: Cast a line in the park’s pristine streams, home to trout and other freshwater fish. Waterfall Visits: Marvel at the park’s cascading waterfalls, including Karuru and Chania Falls.

Step into a world of misty forests, cascading waterfalls, and rugged mountain peaks. Welcome to Aberdare National Park, a hidden gem in Kenya’s central highlands and a sanctuary for some of Africa’s most elusive wildlife. Renowned for its dramatic land- scapes, lush vegetation, and unique wildlife experiences, Aberdare offers an unforget- table escape for nature lovers, adventurers, and those seeking tranquility in the wild. A Land of Waterfalls and Forests Aberdare National Park is a place of breathtaking beauty, where dense forests of bamboo, juniper, and hagenia trees give way to rolling moorlands and towering peaks. The park is home to stunning waterfalls, including the famous Karuru Falls and Chania Falls, which cascade down rugged cliffs, creating a serene and magical atmos- phere. The Aberdare Mountain Range, with peaks reaching over 4,000 meters, offers dramatic vistas and a sense of untouched wilderness. A Sanctuary for Rare Wildlife Aberdare is a haven for wildlife, including some of Kenya’s most elusive species. The park is home to black rhinos, elephants, and buffaloes, which roam the dense forests and open moorlands. Rare species like the bongo antelope, a critically endangered forest antelope, and the giant forest hog can also be found here. Predators such as leopards and hyenas lurk in the shadows, while colobus monkeys and Sykes’ monkeys swing through the treetops.
