Aberdare National Park
Thick rainforest, waterfalls and wild moorlands, a hiking and wildlife paradise in the highlands.
About Aberdare
Aberdare is one of Kenya's most scenic and least crowded parks, a highland wilderness of thick rainforest, spectacular waterfalls, cool mountain air and wild moorlands.
It forms one of the country's largest protected areas and shelters vast herds of dust-red elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, leopard and hippo, along with over 500 recorded bird species.
