A Kenya Safari Holiday In Aberdare National Park

January 21st, 2010 by James Trippy Leave a reply »

A Kenya Safari vacation must include a trip to the Aberdare state Park, not only because a trip to Treetops possiblt the most renowned safari lodge is Kenya is here, but also due to the amazing scenery, and the variety of wildlife that may be found. 

Aberdare countrywide 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 peaks, all split up by deep river valleys with streams brooks and pretty waterfalls. 

This in turn means a big range of wildlife to view on your safari vacation and Aberdare countrywide Park of course has te famous safari lodge in the world which is Treetops.  At Treetops and the Ark, each of which are treehouse hotels, 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 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 might 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 reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, butat 10,000 feet the bamboo thickets hide the bongo a rare and evasive forest antelope. 

If you have come to see the massive 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 giant numbers of black rhino. 

Aberdare national 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 real danger. 

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