3-Day / 2-Night Aberdare Mountains Trekking Safari
Day 1: Nairobi – Aberdare National Park – Trek to Campsite
Depart Nairobi early and drive north to Aberdare National Park (approx. 3.5–4 hours). Enter through Mutubio or Wandare Gate, where your trekking adventure begins. Hike through dense bamboo forests and misty valleys teeming with wildlife like bushbuck, monkeys, and occasional buffalo. Break for a picnic lunch and continue ascending to your first overnight campsite (e.g., Wandare or Campsite 1) in the moorlands. Dinner is prepared by your camp crew as you settle in for a night under the stars.
Day 2: Moorland Exploration & Aberdare Waterfalls
After breakfast, embark on a full-day trek across the alpine moorland with scenic views, giant lobelias, and possibly sightings of eland or hyena. Visit one of Aberdare’s iconic waterfalls, such as Karuru Falls or Chania Falls, and enjoy a packed lunch in the open wilderness. Continue your hike toward the next campsite, arriving in time for a warm meal and rest.
Day 3: Morning Descent – Return to Nairobi
Wake up to fresh mountain air and a final breakfast in the wild. Begin your descent through forested trails, taking in your last views of the park’s unique flora and fauna. Exit the park by late morning and enjoy a scenic drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon with drop-off at your hotel or residence.
