A Kenya Safari Vacation. Try Aberdare Park

A Kenya Safari vacation must include a trip to the Aberdare countrywide Park, not only because a trip to Treetops possible the most noted safari lodge is Kenya is here, but also due to the superb views, and the selection 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 tops, all broken up by deep brook valleys with streams brooks and pretty waterfalls.

This in turn means a big range of wildlife to view on your safari holiday and Aberdare state Park of course has te best 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 canopy.  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 close to the waterhole, that you could almost reach out and touch.

The great spread of height in the Park means different species in different environments, and up high the moorland is really harking back to the Scottish Highlands, butat 10,000 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 over the waterholes, and lions hve to give way.  Leopards can be sighted there but often 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 remain taken, because you’ll be coming from or going to spots where Malaria is a genuine danger.

In outline no Kenya Safari vacation would be complete without visiting Aberdare.
