Discover the beauty of Kenya’s central highlands on a 2-day safari from Nairobi to Aberdare National Park. Known for its misty forests, dramatic waterfalls, and rich wildlife, Aberdare offers a unique safari experience unlike the open savannah parks.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive north through lush farmland and rolling hills toward the Aberdare ranges. Upon arrival, you will transfer to a lodge located inside the park, often built in a tree-lodge style overlooking a floodlit waterhole where animals gather to drink.
From the lodge’s viewing decks, you may spot elephants, buffaloes, giant forest hogs, hyenas, bushbucks, and sometimes even the elusive leopard. Aberdare is also home to rare species such as the bongo antelope and a variety of birdlife.
During the stay, enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the forest while observing wildlife visiting the waterhole both day and night.
On the second day, enjoy breakfast at the lodge before departing the park and returning to Nairobi with scenic views along the way.
This short safari is perfect for travelers looking for a peaceful nature experience combined with wildlife viewing in a unique mountain environment.
