Parque Nacional de Aberdare

Parque Nacional de Aberdare

  • The Mystical Highlands of Kenya

    Aberdare National Park is a dramatic departure from the typical African safari image. Part of the Aberdare Mountain Range, this park is a lush wonderland of misty rain forests, deep ravines, and open moorlands. Sitting at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters, it offers a cool, crisp climate and some of the most spectacular waterfalls in East Africa. It is also famously where Princess Elizabeth ascended to the throne of England while staying at the Treetops Hotel.

  • What to expect

    1. The Wildlife: Home to the «Big Five,» though sightings here are a thrilling challenge due to the thick canopy. It is the best place in Kenya to see the elusive Bongo Antelope, giant forest hogs, and rare Black Leopards.

    2. The Landscape: Explore a terrain that ranges from high-altitude heathery moorlands (reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands) to dense bamboo forests and rainforests.

    3. Birding Paradise: With over 250 species of birds, including the endangered Aberdare Cisticola, Jackson’s Francolin, and various sunbirds and eagles.

  • Seasonal Overview

    This is a high-rainfall area; even in the dry season, mist and rain are common, which adds to the park’s ethereal charm.

    1. Búsqueda de cascadas: Visita las magníficas cataratas Karuru, que se precipitan en tres tramos durante 273 metros, o las cataratas de Chania. Estos son algunos de los lugares fotográficos más bonitos de Kenia.

    2. Senderismo en los páramos: Realiza una caminata guiada por las mesetas de gran altitud. Las vistas desde las cumbres (como Ol Donyo Lesatima) son impresionantes, ofreciendo vislumbres del monte Kenia a lo lejos.

    3. Pesca de trucha: Los frescos páramos montañosos del parque albergan arroyos cristalinos y helados. Podemos organizar un día de pesca con mosca para truchas marrones y arcoíris (se requiere licencia de pesca).

    4. «Observación» de fauna 24 horas: En lodges como The Ark, disfruta de «safari de sillón». Observa elefantes, búfalos y rinocerontes llegar al salado desde la comodidad de un salón con una bebida caliente en la mano.

    5. Paseos para observación de aves: Explora las zonas de bambú y selva tropical con nuestros guías expertos para localizar estas especies únicas de aves montanas.

    6. Safari: Recorre el «Salient» (el bosque de menor altitud) para buscar el raro antílope bongo y los famosos elefantes del parque, conocidos por ser algo más pequeños y esquivos que sus primos de la sabana.
