Aberdare National Park including Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate National Parks

The Aberdare National Park encloses two different environments; the Kinangop Plateau in the west is a 60km stretch of moorland, peaks and forest, while the Salient is an outcrop of dense rainforest to the east. The park has a variety of fauna, flora and scenery that you won't find elsewhere. Elephants and buffaloes are the dominant animals though you will find black rhinos, bongo, antelopes and leopards.

Lake Nakuru National Park covers an area of 188 sq km. Flamingo-frosted, salt-encrusted, acacia-haloed and guarded by the prehistoric splendour of a grey-green forest of Euphorbia candelabrum, this park offers sanctuary to some of the world's most endangered creatures.

Hell's Gate National Park is dusty but dramatic. You can walk or cycle through without a ranger or guide. The looming cliffs and the gorge are spectacular. Zebras, Thomson's gazelles and baboons are common.
