Begin your 5-day journey at Aberdare National Park where you can see animals that are rarely encountered elsewhere: the giant forest hog, bush pig, tree hyrax, large spotted genet, and the elusive bongo antelope.
Nairobi–Aberdare National Park (L/D)
Depart Nairobi after breakfast to Aberdare National Park, stopping for lunch at The Aberdare Country Club, nestled on the slopes of Mweiga Hill. After lunch, set off for the Ark Tree Lodge, located in the forest on the slopes of the Aberdare Mountains at 7,000 feet. This outstanding lodge offers high altitude game viewing, including animals that are rarely encountered elsewhere: Giant forest hog, Bush Pig, Tree Hyrax, Large Spotted Genet, and the elusive Bongo Antelope.
Wildlife can be observed from different locations – from outside where you can see, hear and smell everything and from inside where you can sit with a cup of tea and stay warm and cozy. You can put in a request to be awakened during the night if your favorite animals show up. A herd of elephants might be just feet away and if you are lucky, a leopard or large male lion might put in an appearance.
