Aberdare National Park
A real myriad of landscapes
Aberdare National Park is a dramatically beautiful place located in the central highlands of Kenya, not far away from Nyeri Town; panoramic scenery and abundant wildlife bless this place. Peaks rise as high as 13,000 feet to form a major mountain range and are covered by thick forests and waterfalls, adding to its natural beauty. Nature lovers will have much to celebrate in the large number of iconic animals within the park, such as elephants, buffalos, giant forest hogs, and most especially the rarely ever-seen bongo antelope. As such, birdwatchers will be glad since one gets to observe many species native to this area.
Besides the beauty of wildlife, Aberdare National Park has attachments that are very important in culture, too. It forms part of the ancestral home of the Kikuyu, one of the biggest ethnic groups in Kenya. One can burrow into the richness of the traditions and hence add to the cultural aspect while exploring. Besides, from extreme hiking expeditions and walks on safaris to game drives, it has activities that suit both the adrenaline junkie and the laid-back kind of adventurer. The provision of tree hotels within the park also allows visitors to have unique experiences and better views of wildlife in comfort.
To visitors in search of the ultimate eco-adventure away from packaged tourist spots, Aberdare National Park is something else. It forms one destination that promises to offer lasting memories both for the intrepid explorer and the visitor who values nature and culture.
