Overview
The spectacular Aberdare ranges that sit across the Central Highlands region of Kenya are a sight to behold. The Treetops Lodge, in particular, makes the Aberdares predominantly famous in that it is where Princess Elizabeth found out that she was going to be a queen upon the death of her father.
After this event, the park started attracting local and international tourists. Besides its royal history, this delightful and fantastic mountain range has a rich variety of topography. High moorlands, steep valleys, thick bamboo forests, lush mountainous regions, roaring waterfalls, misty peaks- you name it! It also hosts 3 of the Big 5 animals.
Furthermore, the Aberdare stretch has impressive waterfalls. The most popular one among them is Karuru Falls, which has three levels and drops more than 300 meters (984 feet). This makes it an incredibly beautiful spot for taking pictures.
Other falls that complement this wonderful scenery are Gura Falls, Magura Falls and Chania Falls. There's nowhere else similar to Aberdare National Park in Kenya; you can explore it by game drives or trekking up the high peaks to enjoy its amazing views.
