Experience the Untamed Beauty of Aberdare National Park on a Three-Day Safari Adventure
Immerse yourself in the lush, high-altitude wilderness of Aberdare National Park, a unique destination known for its dense forests and diverse wildlife. This three-day safari offers an exceptional opportunity to track large herds of elephants, buffaloes, and the elusive leopards that roam the mountain slopes. The cool climate and misty atmosphere of the Aberdare range create a dramatic setting for your wildlife encounters, providing a refreshing contrast to the typical savannah landscapes found elsewhere in Kenya.
Your accommodation is a key part of the experience, featuring a stay at the Aberdare Country Club and the iconic Ark hotel. The Ark is world-famous for its unique design, which mimics the biblical Noah’s Ark, and its strategic location overlooking a busy watering hole. From the comfort of the viewing decks, you can watch as various animals emerge from the forest to drink, offering a peaceful and intimate way to observe wildlife without the need for long drives.
For those seeking more active engagement with the environment, the safari includes exciting options such as horseback riding through the wilderness. This allows you to get closer to nature and explore areas that are inaccessible by vehicle, providing a truly immersive safari experience. Whether you choose to ride through the forest or simply relax at the viewing deck with a pair of binoculars, the park offers endless opportunities to connect with the natural world in a serene setting.
This comprehensive package is designed to provide a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, with optional extensions available for those who wish to explore further. You can choose to upgrade your transport to a Safari Land cruiser or add excursions like hiking Mt Kenya or visiting Samburu. By the end of your three-day journey, you will have experienced the unique charm of the Aberdare region and created lasting memories of Kenya's spectacular mountain wildlife and forest landscapes.

Customer Reviews
A beautiful park where you may or not come across wildlife. But if you like animals is best to sleep at The Ark Lodge so you can see them from very close as there's a waterhole in front of the lodge where elephants, bushbucks, hyenas and other animals come to drink. If you like mountain atmosphere with chilly weather and beautiful altitude rainforest that's your place! Many hikes available especially in the highlands area, the Dragons Teeth hike is definitely a must! Very scenic!
Entry fee for three adults and one vehicle came up to be $271 USD for non-residents (while residents of pay 1/4th of that price). Animals are there but not in abundance. We did see a hyena, a few dinkas, a warthog, random gazelle (and impalas?), etc. never saw an elephant but their droppings are plentiful. We camped near the fishing lodge and was about 50 F at night so bundle up (Oct 18-19). Scenes are good, pretty stunning. Checking out took us 30 minutes bc we bought our vehicle registration on E citizen and the tickets at the gate bc there was a glitch. Lots of confusion when checking in and out. Overall a great place to check out as an American. Ps. We drove from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha before hitting up the park. The police pulled us over and shook us down for 10,000 KES. We should have negotiated for 500-1000 KES so be careful driving outside of Nairobi— especially in one spot.
Waited at the gate (Treetops Gate) for too long, thanks to beaurocracy from the park rangers. Sad that foreigners who came after us, were allowed in faster than citizens. Best time to go is early morning if you want to see the animals. Only saw Buffalo, Warthogs and Elephants which constantly avoid being seen. Also, Northern part of the park is only accessible by appointment. Not impressed at all.
