Step into a world of misty mountains, dense forests, and elevated wildlife encounters with this enchanting 2-day safari to Aberdare National Park. Unlike the sunbaked savannahs of Kenya’s more famous reserves, Aberdares offers a unique alpine safari experience—where tree-dwelling lodges, mountain elephants, and nocturnal animal viewing create a setting right out of a storybook.
Nestled in the heart of Kenya’s lush central highlands, Treetops Lodge—once visited by Queen Elizabeth II—offers a rare opportunity to witness wildlife from above, overlooking floodlit waterholes and salt licks. From scenic drives through tea plantations to night-time animal activity rarely seen in other parks, this safari is a quiet escape into the wild’s more mysterious corners.
Safari Highlights:
Your journey begins early in Nairobi, with a pick-up from your hotel, residence, or the airport. Travel northward into the cooler altitudes of the Kenyan Highlands, passing rolling hills blanketed in tea and coffee estates, and picturesque rural settlements.
Arrive at Treetops Lodge, your elevated retreat nestled among ancient trees and overlooking a busy wildlife watering hole. After a warm welcome and lunch, your safari begins—not with a vehicle, but from the comfort of the lodge’s viewing decks.
From your tree-level vantage point, you may spot elephants, buffalo, bushbucks, and even leopards, especially as dusk falls. The lodge’s floodlit salt lick and waterhole offer one of the best locations in Kenya for observing nocturnal wildlife behavior in real-time.
Dinner is served at the lodge, after which you’re free to spend the evening watching nature’s nighttime drama unfold right beneath your feet. Keep an eye out for hyenas, forest hogs, and other elusive species that emerge only after dark.
Wake up to the sounds of the dawn chorus echoing through the Aberdare forest. From your canopy-level balcony, witness the wilderness awakening—colobus monkeys swing through branches, birds fill the air with song, and wildlife stir near the waterhole in the misty morning light.
After a leisurely breakfast overlooking the highland landscape, you’ll check out and begin your return journey to Nairobi. Along the way, enjoy a relaxing lunch stop amidst the serene plantation scenery, offering one last taste of Kenya’s verdant north.
Upon arrival back in Nairobi, you will be dropped off at your preferred location—be it your hotel, residence, or the airport.
