Day 1

In the Mountains of the Aberdares

In the Mountains of the Aberdares

You will be picked up at the airport and driven to the famous Aberdare National Park. Aptly dubbed ‘Scotland with Lions’, this charismatic Afro-Alpine realm showcases the wild beauty of the Aberdare Mountain range where elephants roam through lichen hung forests and spectacular waterfalls plunge into churning pools. Arriving in time for lunch at The Aberdares Country Club you will later be transported (with a small overnight bag) into the exclusive sanctuary that surrounds The Ark. A secluded lodge designed to resemble Noah’s Ark, this timbered lodge is unique, not least because of the splendor of the game-watching experience around its private waterhole, which attracts large herds of elephants.
