Der Aberdare-Nationalpark in den zentralen Hochlandschaften Kenias erreicht eine Höhe von 4.001 Metern und schützt ein Bergökosystem mit Bambuswäldern, Moorgebieten und schnell fließenden Bächen. Er ist berühmt für seine einzigartigen Baumhotels – Treetops und The Ark –, in denen Gäste die Tierwelt von erhöhten Unterkünften aus beobachten können, während nachts beleuchtete Wasserlöcher die Tiere anlocken. Der Park ist ein hervorragender Ort, um Nashörner, Bongos (eine der seltensten Waldantilopen Kenias), Elefanten und Büffel zu beobachten.
