Aberdare luxury Lodge
Safari, 2 days Aberdare luxury Lodge Safari. The Aberdare National Park is part of the Aberdare Mountain
Range, a fascinating region of Kenya. A tribe in Kenya, the
Kikuyu folklore said its one of the homes of Ngai (God).
In Kenya, its of the Mountain ranges and peaks soaring to
around 14,000 ft. giving way to deep V-shaped valleys with
streams and rivers cascading over spectacular waterfalls -
this area is a must for Kenya landscape tourists. From its
vital catchment area the Aberdare Rainforest feeds the
entire Kenya capital city with water. Above the forest is a
belt of bamboo, a favourite haunt of the Bongo, a rare and
elusive Kenya forest antelope. At 10,000 ft. the bamboo
gives way to moorland, home to the eland, spotted and
melanistic serval cats. Other features are the giant
varieties of lobelia, groundsel and heather. Ideal for
walking, picnics, camping and trout fishing in the rivers,
the moorlands are reminiscent of the European Highlands.
Animals abound in the forest: elephant, buffalo, giant
forest hog and Kenya's indigenous endangered Black Rhino.
The entire forest is being fenced to protect Kenya
settlement farmers from animal raids and to create a rhino
and forest sanctuary.
Game viewing is very rewarding: lion. leopard, baboon, Black
and White Colobus and Sykes monkeys are abundant. Rare
sightings have also been made of the Golden Cat. Bird
viewing is incredible with over 250 species recorded,
including Jackson's Francolin, sparrow hawk, African
goshawk, eagles, sunbirds and plovers.
