Amboseli National Park - Aberdare (Solio Ranch)
We’ll be up early for a final game drive through the Amboseli and then drive toward Aberdare Park.
Aberdare is different – not your usual African safari with its sun-baked savannah or rolling hills. Here we’re up country – think rich green forests, waterfalls, and mountain lakes.
Even our lodging is different here – you’ll be staying in a “Tree Lodge”, high above the park’s forests and its moorlands. From your balcony look for elephants, hyenas, buffalo, warthogs, and monkeys, strutting or scampering out from the forest to the nearby watering holes.
Though not too common, there have been sightings of rarities like the golden cat, giant forest hog, and the bongo, an unusually large antelope.

You can also visit two nearby reserves, Shaba and Buffalo Springs for a greener look with their forests and woodlands.
