A Kenya Safari holiday 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 superb views, and the variability 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 is everything from moorland to rainforests, bamboo forests to mountain tops, all broken up by deep stream valleys with streams rivers and pretty waterfalls.
This in turn means a big range of wildlife to view on your safari holiday and Aberdare national 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’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 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 terribly paying homage to the Scottish Highlands, butat ten thousand feet the bamboo thickets hide the bongo a rare and evasive forest antelope.
If you have come to see the enormous five,then elephants reign supreme over the waterholes, and lions hve to give way. Leopards can be sighted there but mostly a night.
The Park also contains large numbers of black rhino.
Aberdare countrywide Park isn’t a malaria area due to 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 holiday would be ideal without visiting Aberdare.
