Aberdare in 3 Days: Where Forest Magic Meets Wildlife

Day 1: Nairobi – Aberdare National Park

Pick up from your hotel in the morning and proceed to Aberdare National Park, which is located about 150km (93 miles) east of Nairobi. Arrive in time for lunch at the hotel and later proceed for an afternoon game drive in search of the rare black rhino, leopards, baboons, and Colobus monkey. Enjoy this beautiful scenic region which is much cooler than the savannahs and offers a completely different perspective on the country. The national park lies mainly above the tree line. The scenery is spectacular with its mountainous terrain covered in thick tropical forests swathed in mist. Dinner and overnight at Treetops Lodge or The Ark Lodge.

Day 2 : Aberdare National Park, The Ark Lodge

Morning Go on a game drive in Aberdare National Park. You might see elephants, black rhinos, leopards, spotted hyenas, olive baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, buffalos, warthogs, and bush bucks. Afternoon Visit the Ark Lodge, which overlooks one of the largest saltlicks and waterholes in the Aberdare Mountains. Evening Have dinner at The Ark Lodge. The restaurant offers excellent cuisine for dinner and breakfast, either as a buffet or set menu, depending on the number of guests.
