Step into the misty highlands of the Aberdares, where cascading waterfalls, bamboo forests, and towering peaks create a safari experience unlike any other. Escape the city for a day and immerse yourself in Kenya’s cool mountain wilderness.

Aberdares National Park offers a one-of-a-kind ecosystem of dense forests, bamboo thickets, riverine valleys, and scenic waterfalls. Unlike classic savannah safaris, the Aberdares provide a forested safari adventure where wildlife emerges amidst moss-covered trees and mist-laden hills.
