Not far from Nairobi, you’ll encounter one of Kenya’s most unique destinations, where vast savannahs are replaced by a verdant expanse of rainforest intermingled with rivers and cascading waterfalls. As one of the smallest parks in Africa, a visit to Aberdare feels like you’re being let in on a secret. Spend your days on game drives and guided hikes, spotting colobus and vervet monkeys as well as rare bongo antelope and black rhino. Certain lodges have fantastic hides, allowing you to capture moments spent unbelievably close to the wildlife including big cats, elephant and buffalo. If you’re up for it, horseback or mountain bike rides through ravines and into the highlands of the Great Rift Valley are also available.
