The Aberdares (Nyandarua) overlooks the great Rift Valley and lies on its eastern edge. There are two main peaks, Lesatima to the north and Kinangop to the south. Various species of wildlife inhabit these mountain ranges, hiding in the heavily forested slopes and in the upper moorlands. Walking is always cool with plenty of clear mountain streams. Our walk starts below the bamboo forest, climbing up onto the moorlands. There is always danger walking through the African bush but we do not expect many close encounters with large game. However, our trained and armed
game ranger knows the area and the habits of the game.
Day 1 - Mweiga
Departing our office at 9.30 a.m., we go north to Mweiga to meet our guide and then up into the forested eastern slopes of the Aberdares ranges where we make camp.
Day 2 & 3 - Walking
We start our walk. Carry only what you need for the day's walk, the vehicle will meet us in the moorlands where camp will be made. A short
game drive if weather permits.
Day 4 - Nairobi
We depart the moorland camp (10,000ft) and descend by vehicle looking for game on the way. We drop off the guide and head back to Nairobi arriving before 5.00 p.m.
Note: Clients should arrange to have good weather proof clothing and a warm sleeping bag, a water bottle and good walking shoes plus a pair of shoes to wear in camp.
