About this tour
The Aberdare Range rises north of Nairobi, between Nyeri and Nyandarua: cool highland air, dense forest and bamboo, open moorland and deep valleys with waterfalls such as Karuru and Gura, where access allows.
Aberdare National Park is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service. The forests are home to elephants, buffalo and other animals, though sightings in thick forest are never guaranteed. It's a long day from Nairobi (about 3–4 hours each way), so ask us about an overnight stay for a slower pace. Bring warm layers and a rain jacket.
