Aberdare National Park
Aberdare National Park is an area within the Aberdare Mountain Range consisting of two different ecosystems with a high, cold moorland and a dense tangled montane jungle below.
The wildlife here is harder to spot, however elephants and buffalos are common. There are also a number of endemic species including bongo antelope, bush pigs and melanistic leopard and serval.
Aberdare is a great place for birdwatching, with over 250 species in the park including sparrow hawks, goshawks and eagles.
You can also get out of the vehicle here and spend time hiking over the moorlands although you can’t enter the park on foot.
