Nairobi to Aberdare National Park
Your journey begins with a morning pick-up from Nairobi. You’ll drive north through Kenya’s central highlands, passing pineapple plantations and scenic tea farms as you ascend into the cool, forested region of the Aberdares. Arriving at the Aberdare Country Club or a similar base hotel, you’ll enjoy lunch before transferring to a tree lodge inside the park (such as The Ark or Treetops Lodge). These unique lodges are set in forest clearings with floodlit waterholes, allowing for incredible overnight wildlife viewing from the comfort of your lodge. Expect sightings of elephants, buffalo, bushbuck, and possibly elusive leopards and hyenas as they come to drink. Dinner and overnight are at the tree lodge.

In the afternoon, set out on a game drive through this compact yet richly diverse park. Famous for its rhino sanctuary, Nakuru is one of the best places in Kenya to see both white and black rhinos. You’ll also encounter Rothschild giraffes, buffaloes, baboons, and—if you’re lucky—a leopard. The lake itself is often rimmed with flamingos and pelicans, and is a haven for over 400 bird species. Return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.
