Aberdare National Park splits into two different environments: the high moorland and peaks which form its bulk, and the lower Salient to the east where the vegetation is dense rainforest and there is considerably more wildlife. The high moorlands have some exceptional walking and include three peaks, Lesatima in the north, Il Kinangop (3906m) in the south, and Kipipiri (3349m), an isolated cone outside the park above the Wanjohi Valley in the west.
They can be climbed relatively easily, given good weather conditions. It takes about three hours to climb Lesatima and two hours back down again. Sandai organizes climbs, or ask the Mountain Club of Kenya in Nairobi for details. El Paraiso can also arrange to guide. Hiking in the park is allowed only with the approval of the warden, so apply in good time. You may be required to take a guide.
These are also the coolest months of the year, with average monthly maximum daytime temperatures ranging from 21 C (70 F) to 23 C (73 F).
The forest is home to populations of forest Elephants, Buffalo, lions, and several species of antelope such as Waterbuck, Duiker, the rare Suni and Bushbuck, eland as well as zebras.
