Aberdare NationalPark was made in 1950 to protect the forests of the Aberdare Mountains. It is a remote park, as it's hardly ever visited by travellers or safari companies.
You must book in advance as you cannot take your own vehicles.
The Park is located in the Central Highlands, west of Mount Kenya.
You're able to see beautiful landscapes from high mountain peaks to valleys shaped like a V and bamboo forests.
Accommodation
There are 2 main types of accommodation.
*Treetops*
Treetops, tree house lodge, are one of Kenya's most famous hotels. This was where Princess Elizabeth was told that she had become Queen. So, as you can probably imagine, the prices at the hotel are quite expensive.

when we arrived at the airport in Mombasa we were taken to our base hotel. That was the start of the bumpy roads, but it was worth it when we arrived the complex was marble flooring and there were five pools,you could sit at your balcony and watch the Indian oceon very close by, the sand was soft ...
Advantages: Great views, lifetime experience Disadvantages: Too high.
Going up the hill...
If you want to get a train to the top, and buy a badge to say you did it at the peak visitor centre, youre in the wrong place.
Up and down in 3 days, as we did it, is a seriously bad idea, with altitude sickness and so on, the only possible way to climb is to take 6 steps forward and two back - there is no ammount of training that can prepare a couch potato to do this, you must be fit in body and mind, and then make your peace with whoever before you go get to the top.

The toilet facilities are usually a stinking \"long drop\" (hole in the floor) or simply using ...
