Aberdare National Park

	Itineraries
	Exploring the Park
	Roads The 'Salient' portion of the Park has a good road network, but over rough terrain; most suitable for 4WD vehicles. The rest of the Park is mainly traversed by gravel and dirt roads, with 4WD vehicles recommended. Especially during the wet season, visitors are advised to keep to the gravel roads. Guides To explore the Park on foot, the service of a KWS Ranger is required, due to the density of potentially dangerous wildlife. As a knowledgeable naturalist, a KWS Ranger may be booked in advance through the Warden. What to take with you Drinking water, picnic or camping equipment (if you stay overnight), binoculars, camera, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent, anti-malarial prophylactics, walking boots, warm clothing and field guides.
	Mountain Climbing, Hiking and Walking
	You don't have to be a mountaineer to climb Aberdare's peaks; most can be conquered by a vigorous high-altitude walk. There are countless panoramic moorland hikes and shady forest walks to be enjoyed. Please note: permission is required from the Warden to walk, hike or climb in the Park.
	Other Sports
	Excellent Mountain Stream Fishing Brown and rainbow trout abound in the cool mountain streams and provide excellent angling. A sports fishing license can be obtained at the Park gates, upon entry.
	The Surroundings
	The Park is ideally situated for visits to the Rift Valley lakes of Naivasha, Nakuru, Elementeita, Bogoria and Baringo. Plus, it is within easy reach of Mount Kenya National Park, with Hell’s Gate National Park and Mount Longonot National Park just slightly farther away.
