Explore an Aberdare Safari
Experience an Aberdare Safari through Kenya’s west-central highlands, northeast of Naivasha and Gilgil, where elevations average 3,500 meters. The Aberdare Range stretches about 160 km, forming the eastern edge of the Great Rift Valley. Its gently sloping eastern side is densely forested, while the western side descends into the Kinangop Plateau, offering open moorlands ideal for wildlife sightings.
Peaks and Landscapes
On an Aberdare Safari, you will discover Mount Satima and Mount Kinangop, the highest and second-highest peaks in the range. The forested eastern slopes shelter diverse plant life, including podo, cedar, hardwood, and camphor trees, while rainfall supports lush vegetation and thriving farmlands.
Wildlife in the Aberdare Range
The western moorlands are rich in wildlife. Visitors may encounter elephants, buffaloes, hyenas, leopards, and elusive golden cats. Smaller mammals such as Jackson’s mongoose, duikers, and bushbuck also inhabit the area, along with black-and-white colobus monkeys and waterbucks, making the Aberdare Safari an excellent destination for wildlife observation.
Discover a Samburu Safari
A Samburu Safari takes you to northern Kenya along the banks of the Ewaso Ng’iro River, where altitudes range from 800 to 1,230 meters. The river and surrounding vegetation create an oasis attracting diverse wildlife to the semi-arid landscape.
Wildlife and Big Game
During a Samburu Safari, expect to see reticulated giraffes, Grevy’s zebras, lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The mixture of riverine forests, grasslands, and shrublands supports both large and smaller wildlife species, offering unique opportunities for wildlife photography and observation.
Scenic Views and Habitat
The Ewaso Ng’iro River provides a lifeline for animals and enhances the scenic beauty of the park. The combination of open plains, riverbanks, and woodland creates excellent game-viewing opportunities, particularly during dry seasons when animals gather near the water.
