A Kenya Safari vacation must include a visit to the Aberdare state Park, not only because a visit to Treetops possiblt the most renowned safari lodge is Kenya is here, but also due to the fantastic views, and the selection of wildlife that may be found.
Aberdare state Park is a great Kenya Safari destination for both these reasons.
The Park varies from around 7000 feet to 14000 feet so there’s everything from moorland to rainforests, bamboo forests to mountain tops, all broken up by deep river valleys with streams brooks and gorgeous waterfalls.
This in turn means a large range of wildlife to view on your safari holiday and Aberdare countrywide 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 cover. They’re 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 is 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 nearly 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 elusive forest antelope.
If you have come to see the enormous five,then elephants reign over the waterholes, and lions hve to give way. Leopards can be sighted there but mostly a night.
The Park also contains giant numbers of black rhino.
Aberdare state Park is not a malaria area due to the height, butrecautions must continue to be taken, because you’ll be coming from or going to spots where Malaria is a real danger.
In outline no Kenya Safari holiday would be perfect without visiting Aberdare.
