3 Day Safari to Aberdare National Park from Nairobi

You’ll journey north through Kenya’s fertile highlands toward Nyeri, with stunning views of Mount Kenya along the way. By midday, you’ll arrive at the Aberdares, known for their cool, misty forests, waterfalls, and unique wildlife. Lunch will be served at a base hotel such as Aberdare Country Club or Outspan, followed by a transfer to The Ark Lodge or Treetops, famous tree lodges that offer an exclusive overnight wildlife viewing experience from their decks and hides. As you relax in the lodge, enjoy watching elephants, buffalos, bush pigs, hyenas, and sometimes leopards that come to drink at the floodlit waterhole.

After breakfast and check-out, you’ll go on a half-day game drive or fully day game drive with picnic lunch in the higher altitudes of Aberdare National Park. Explore its dense bamboo forests, alpine moorlands, and striking waterfalls like Chania Falls or Karuru Falls, where you might encounter rare species such as the bongo antelope, giant forest hogs, and black rhinos. After the game drive, return to the lodge for lunch and relaxation, with the option of a nature walk or a cultural visit (if staying outside the park). Enjoy another night at your lodge with wildlife viewing opportunities right from your room or lounge.
