Aberdare Ranges & Mt.Kenya
Intro:
The Aberdare Ranges and Mount Kenya region offer a very different kind of safari. Instead of vast savannahs, visitors encounter misty forests, cascading waterfalls, alpine meadows, and snow-capped peaks. This highland escape is perfect for travelers who enjoy scenic beauty, cooler climates, and unique wildlife experiences.
Experience:
Aberdare National Park is famous for its dense forests and mountain scenery, where elephants, buffalo, leopards, and giant forest hogs roam. The park is also home to the rare bongo antelope, often seen in the thick bamboo. Visitors can enjoy the dramatic Karuru Falls, which drop over 270 meters, and tree-top lodges that allow overnight wildlife viewing from the comfort of your room.
Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest mountain, offers both challenging treks to its peaks and gentle hikes around its lower slopes. Its alpine landscapes are home to unique plant species, crystal-clear lakes, and wildlife such as hyrax, bushbuck, and the occasional leopard.
