Located high in the central highlands of Kenya, Aberdare National Park is a mystical, misty world of steep forested ravines, open moorlands, and spectacular plunging waterfalls. The dense vegetation creates an atmosphere of wild mystery, making wildlife viewing a thrilling treasure hunt. Because traditional game driving can be challenging in the thick forest, the park is famous for its iconic “tree-hotels.” Here, guests can comfortably observe a parade of nocturnal wildlife from their balconies as animals gather at floodlit waterholes and salt licks below.

• Magnificent, multi-tiered waterfalls including Karuru Falls and Chania Falls.
