The Aberdare is one of the most visited protected areas in Kenya. With an altitude of 1829m to 4000m, it sits on an area of 767 Km² in the highlands of Central Kenya. The park is located about 150 KM north of the capital, Nairobi.

The dry upland forest covers the lower slopes and the mountain forest dominates from 2,000M mixing cedar, Meru oak, and Podo trees in a beautiful serrated canopy. At 2500M, a belt of bamboo intricately weaves the smaller trees interspersed with glades to surround the mountain. This is home to animals and plants as well as ‘Ngai’ (God), venerated by the local tribe in the folklore as evidenced by the shrines in the park. There is a deep cut made by the ravines through the forested eastern and western ends.

This unique haven abundant with clear streams and deafening waterfalls break the monotony of the jungle silence. The Ol Donyo Satima (3999M) and the Kinangop Peak (3906M) stride the Lumber of alpine moorland stuffing that 3000M space between them into a moorland cushion.
