Itinerary

1. Day 1: Nairobi – Aberdares/Mt. Kenya National Park (Forest Tree Lodge)

   • Depart Nairobi after breakfast with the Kenyan guide/driver. The destination today is the Aberdares National Park.

   • Travel overland through plantations of coffee and tea to The Aberdares Country Club, nestled on the slopes of Mweiga Hill.

   • After lunch, set off for the Ark tree lodge, located in the forest on mountain slopes of the Aberdares Mountains at 7,000 feet. This outstanding lodge offers high altitude game viewing, including animals that are rarely encountered elsewhere: Giant forest hog, Bushpig, Tree Hyrax, large Spotted Genet, and the elusive Bongo Antelope. Wildlife can be observed from different levels – and from outside where you can see, hear and smell everything and inside where you can sit with a cup of tea and stay warm and cosy. You can put in a request to be awakened during the night if your favourite 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.
