The Aberdares

What makes it special

Aberdare National Park covers a high mountain range in central Kenya, with dense montane forest, bamboo, moorland and waterfalls.

Some lodges in the park overlook floodlit waterholes, where elephant, buffalo and other animals come to drink after dark.

  • Montane forest
  • Waterfalls
  • Waterhole viewing after dark
  • Cooler highland climate

Wildlife moves freely and sightings are never guaranteed. We will advise on timing for your dates.
