The
park is part of the Aberdare Mountain Range which forms
the steep eastern edge of the Rift Valley. It lies approx
180kms north of Nairobi and has an altitude of 7,000 to
14,000 ft. The scenery in this region is spectacular and
impressive as is the range of wildlife. Due to the dense
forest vegetation, you will need to do some searching for
the wildlife, but there are also many purposes built game
viewing lodges. Game to be found in the park includes; elephant,
lion, black rhino, waterbuck, gazelle, giant forest hog,
genet cats, leopard, buffalo and the rare spiral-horned
antelope known as the bongo. |
