Nairobi – Aberdare or Mt. Kenya National Park

Aberdare National Park - Today’s journey takes us to either Aberdare National Park or Mt. Kenya National Park. We travel north from Nairobi to The Aberdare Country Club, situated on the slopes of Mweiga Hill. After enjoying lunch and high tea, we proceed to the Ark tree lodge, nestled in the forest on the mountain slopes of the Aberdare Mountains at an elevation of 7,000 feet. This remarkable lodge offers high-altitude wildlife viewing, featuring animals rarely seen elsewhere: giant forest hog, bush pig, tree hyrax, large spotted genet, and the elusive bongo. Wildlife can be observed from various levels, both outside where you can fully experience the environment, and inside where you can relax with a cup of tea in comfort. Guests can request to be awakened at night if their favorite animals appear. A herd of elephants might be just a few feet away, and with luck, a leopard or a large male lion might make an appearance.
