Aberdare National Park is a 311 square mile sanctuary on an isolated volcanic massif which forms part of the eastern wall of the Rift Valley. Part of the larger forest reserve, the Aberdares are covered with a dense rainforest and provide spectacular views over the Rift Valley. Bird life is abundant with more than 200 species. This park essentially encloses the moorland and high forest of the 60km-long Kinangop plateau. Only rarely does this place feature in the itineraries of safari companies and it's even less visited by individual travellers. But if you're willing to brave the inclement weather, this remote and formidably dense forest is well worth the effort. The park offers a variety of fauna, flora and scenery which you won't find elsewhere except, perhaps, on Mt Kenya. There are also the dramatic Gura Falls which drop a full 300m, along with alpine moorland, and the rare chance of seeing a black leopard, elephant, rhino or bongo (rare spiral-horned antelope). |
| Day 4 |
Samburu and Shaba Reserves are some of the most pristine reserves in Kenya, and protect a habitat surprisingly rich in wildlife. The Reserves provide the chance to see many species not found elsewhere in Kenya, such as Grey's zebra, the rare beisa oryx and the Somali ostrich. Shaba National Reserve covers an area of 92 square miles at the base of the Mt. Kenya foothills and is charaterized by rocky hills and scattered thornbush. Mount Shaba a 5,300 foot high volcanic cone after which the park was named, lies just to the south. |

| Day 6 |
Lake Nakuru National Park is located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The Park encompasses the alkaline Lake Nakuru and has earned fame as the greatest bird spectacle in the world. The gathering of hundreds of thousands of greater and lesser pink flamingos. The massive flock of birds color the waters a delicate pink and feed on the abundant algae which thrives in the lake's shallow warm waters. Lake Nakuru is subject to fluctuation in depth and once in every 20 to 30 years it dries up completely, in which case the flamingos and pelican fly over the Managaai crater to the more remote waters of Lake Bogoria. Lake Nakuru National Park covers 78 square miles, most of which is the lake itself. Nakuru has also been declared a black rhino sanctuary and has a number of these endangered animals underguard. Other wildlife found here are leopards, buffalo, Rothschild's giraffes, waterbucks, reedbucks, hippos, baboons, pelicans, and cormorants. The acacia savannah which surrounds the lake is itself beautiful and provides an area particuarly delightful for game viewing. |
