A Kenya Safari vacation must include a trip to the Aberdare countrywide Park, not only because a trip to Treetops possiblt the most famous safari lodge is Kenya is here, but also due to the amazing views, and the variability of wildlife that may be found.
Aberdare national Park is a great Kenya Safari destination for both these reasons.
The Park varies from around 7000 feet to 14000 feet so there is everything from moorland to rainforests, bamboo forests to mountain peaks, all split up by deep river valleys with streams rivers and pretty waterfalls.
This in turn means a large range of wildlife to view on your safari holiday and Aberdare countrywide Park of course has te well known safari lodge in the world which is Treetops. At Treetops and the Ark, each of which are treehouse hostels, where the walkways and rooms are up in the sky in the forest cover. They are marvellously situated beside waterholes and natural salt licks, there is all day and all night game viewing without leaving the hotel, thanks to the floodlighting. There’s even a bell system in the room to waken guests if a good sighting arrives in the hours of darkness!! There is even an underground viewing hide so near to the waterhole, that you might virtually reach out and touch.
The great spread of height in the Park means different species in different environments, and up high the moorland is very paying homage to the Scottish Highlands, butat ten thousand feet the bamboo thickets hide the bongo a rare and evasive forest antelope.
If you’ve come to see the big five,then elephants reign supreme over the waterholes, and lions hve to give way. Leopards can be sighted there but mostly a night.
The Park also contains massive numbers of black rhino.
Aberdare state Park is not a malaria area because of the height, butrecautions must continue to be taken, because you will be coming from or going to spots where Malaria is a genuine danger.
In summary no Kenya Safari holiday would be perfect without visiting Aberdare.
