4 Days Aberdare Walking Safari

Leave Nairobi after breakfast and you drive north to Mweiga to meet our armed ranger and begin our 4 Days Aberdare Walking Safari, trek forested eastern slopes of the Aberdare ranges. We trek through high moorlands through thickets of St. John’s Wort and Rosewood Glades. Dinner and overnight at Reedbuck campsite 3090 meters above sea level.

We aim to start the walk at 7am to finish at 2pm. We walk via the Spectacular Chania Falls to Wandare Junction where we set up camp close by 3150 meters above sea level. Over 40 species of wildlife inhabit these mountain ranges, hiding in the heavily forested slopes and in the upper moor lands. Walking is always cool with plenty of clear trout filled mountain streams. Our walk starts below the bamboo forest, climbing up onto the moor lands. There is always likelihood of encountering large game that may prove precarious whilst walking through the African bush but our trained and armed game ranger knows the area and habits of the game and will help us avoid such confrontations as much as possible. The Aberdares is noted as a rhino sanctuary but keep an eye out for the elusive rare bongo, which is best spotted in the upper bamboo zone and hypericum scrub.

We follow Wandare’s Track dinner and overnight at a campsite close to the Fire Spotting Station. 3,400 meters above sea level.

Today you will have an early breakfast and start your 3 hour trek to the Peak of the Aberdares, Le Satima Peak ( 4,001 metres) with your packed lunches. On a clear day you can observe Mount Kenya, Mount Kilimanjaro, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Daiga Hills from here.
After some photographs descend and take your transfer vehicle to Nairobi arrive in the late afternoon, ending the 4 Days Aberdare Walking Safari.
