Located in the Central Province, Central Highlands, west of Mount Kenya.
The Aberdare National Park
is 766 sq. km. in extent, lying at an
altitude of 1800 - 3900 meters above sea level.
The park is a fairyland, awesome in
its majesty and beauty. The carnivores are represented by lion, usually
more hairy and spotted than on the plains, leopard and serval, the
latter often seen on the moorlands and sometimes in its melanistic
state.
Mammals of the forest zone include
blue monkey, colobus, leopard, elephant, warthog black rhino, giant
forest hog, bushbuck, buffalo, red duiker, and suni. The open moorlands
have eland, several species of duiker, and the rare bongo. More than 200
bird species have been recorded.
The Aberdare National Park hosts 2 unique
tree hotels, The Ark and the famous Treetops. The Park is a
wonderland of strange alpine plant mutants, dense forests, tumbling
waterfalls and an abundance of wildlife. Waterholes and saltlicks
at the hotels, attract the animals and are illuminated throughout the
night for game viewing.
Mt. Kenya National Park
- Jagged snow-capped summits of Africa's second highest mountain, 5199m
(17,058 ft) dominate the horizon of this park. Lying astride the
equator, Mt. Kenya hosts a variety of flora and fauna, including the
bongo, black rhino, bush pig and other wildlife.
Mount Kenya also has a fair splattering of wildlife, particularly on the
lower slopes of the mountain. You can expect to see elephant, rhino,
buffalo leopard, bushbuck, several species of duiker, giant forest hog,
and colobus and Sykes monkeys. There is also prolific birdlife around
the mountain, ranging from huge eagles to multi coloured sunbirds.
