Aberdare National Park is an area of moorland offering perfect location for hill walking. The Aberdares is a volcanic range that forms the Eastern wall of the Rift Valley, running roughly 100 km north-south between Nairobi and Thompson’s Falls.

Mist and heavy rainfall occur throughout much of the year, with precipitation varying from around 1,000mm yearly on the north-western slopes to as much as 3,000 mm in the south-east. The park is home to most of the larger mammals, having a large population of black rhino. The park has endangered species including the rare bongo, giant forest hog, packs of the now very rare wild dogs and endemic mole-rate and mole shrew. Other game includes leopard, serval, endemic bird species, reptiles and insects. Other major attractions at Aberdare National Park include: Lesatima Peak, Kinangop Peak, waterfalls, walks in the moorlands, Twin Hills and Table mountains.
