A unique, forested park
Aberdare National Park is situated to the south west of Mt. Kenya within the well-watered and fertile Central Highlands region.It is the highest park in Africa and its predominant habitats are the Kinangop Plateau in the west, a 40 mile stretch of moorland, peaks and forests and the Salient in the east, an area of thick rainforest.
Pretty rivers & waterfalls
Aberdare National Park has a fantastic range of flora and fauna as well as the most beautiful scenery, its only peer in this respect is Mt. Kenya itself.Its terrain is criss-crossed by mountain streams with pretty waterfalls and babbling water teeming with trout.
Elephant and buffalo are wide spread, there are also a number of more rare species such as black rhino, the beautiful and elusive bongo antelope and the extremely rare black leopard. Bush pigs and giant forest hogs are spotted here too. Birdlife is varied and prolific.
Game-viewing is not completely straightforward in the Aberdare National Park, the tall trees and obscuring undergrowth of the Salient can make it tricky.
