Aberdare National Park | |
This park is located 180 km from Nairobi and stretches over a wide variety of terrains because it covers altitudes from about 7,000 feet to 14,000 feet above sea level. Established in May 1950, the Aberdare National Park covers an area of 767 square kilometers and forms part of the Aberdare Mountain Range . The park offers a wide range of beautiful landscapes - from the mountain peaks that rise to 14,000 feet above sea level, to their deep, v-shaped valleys intersected by streams, rivers, and waterfalls. One can also find moorland , bamboo forests, and rainforests as one goes down to lower altitudes. Animals easily observed include the lion , leopard , baboon , black and white Colobus monkey, and sykes monkey. Rarer sightings include those of the golden cat and the bongo - an elusive forest antelope that lives in the bamboo forest. Animals like the eland and spotted and melanistic serval cats can be found higher up in the moorlands. The Aberdare National Park also contains a large population of the black rhino . Visitors can also indulge in walking, picnics, trout fishing in the rivers and camping in the moorlands . Even the bird viewing is rewarding, with over 250 species of birds in the park, including the Jackson 's Francolin, sparry hawk, goshawks , eagles , sunbirds and plovers . Completing the lovely picture is the belief of the traditional Kikuyu that the Aberdare Mountain Range , where this park is located, is one of the homes of Ngai , or God .
