My wife and I arranged our safari ourselves and didn't follow the beaten track. Instead of just enjoying the game viewing from "The Ark" safari lodge as the bulk of the tourists do, we stayed there for two nights. During the day we went on an all day game drive in the Aberdare Mountains equipped with a delicious packed lunch.
This was truly a memorable experience. The scenery is absolutely stunning, and there is some wildlife there that you don't see in other places - e.g. giant forest hog and mountain reed buck, and we had the incredible luck of getting closer to a leopard than ever before.
A big plus was the almost complete lack of (other) tourists – and a small minus was the toilet facilities during the all day game drive – but all in all it was an unforgettable top class safari experience I wouldn’t hesitate recommending to others.
