Aberdares Safari
An Aberdares Safari offers you something quite unique: with a mountain
range running through the Aberdares you'll find moorland, ice-cold streams
and thick forests. This mountainous area has been described as 'Scotland
with Lions'.
Despite its altitude and thick vegetation the Aberdares is not without its
safari attractions and is home to most of Kenya 's wildlife, including the
endangered Black Rhino.
As the Aberdares mountain range slopes off to the east you'll find the well-known
safari lodges, The Ark
and Treetops. These lodges are also one of the main attractions
of the Aberdares as both are built above the ground beside floodlit waterholes with salt licks. Elephant, buffalo,
rhino, leopard and bushbuck are regular visitors to the waterholes at night.
This area was put on the tourist map in 1950 when Princess Elizabeth became Queen of England while she was on
safari in the Aberdares.
