2 Day Aberdares Safari at Treetops
This overnight safari takes you into the cool, forested highlands of Aberdare National Park to stay at Treetops, one of Kenya’s most famous lodges. Built to overlook a floodlit waterhole, it lets you watch elephants, buffalo and other wildlife come to drink by day and night, and the staff will wake you if a particular animal appears after dark.
The Aberdares are high up in the Kenya highlands, so it gets quite cold at night. Bring warm clothing for the evenings.

Day 1: Nairobi – Aberdare National Park (LD)
Your driver-guide collects you from your Nairobi hotel at 8:00 AM for the drive north through the central highlands, arriving at the Aberdares in the late morning. Check in at Treetops and head to the viewing decks, where wildlife comes to the waterhole to drink. After lunch, spend the afternoon watching from the decks or the ground-level photographic hide, where you can get close to elephants and buffalo, and take a nature walk with a guide. In the evening, the waterhole is floodlit for game viewing after dark. Dinner and overnight at Treetops.
Lunch, Dinner
Day 2: Aberdare National Park – Nairobi (BL)
After breakfast, set out on a game drive through the park, looking for elephants, buffalo, leopards, bushbuck and, with luck, black rhinos, and stopping to see the Aberdares’ scenery and waterfalls. Have lunch at the Aberdare Country Club in the early afternoon, then drive back to Nairobi, arriving at about 5:45 PM, where your safari ends at your hotel or the airport.
