Aberdare

Our signature Aberdare experience: a point-to-point traverse of the Aberdare Range, walking from the Kinangop Plateau south to the moorlands of the northern peaks. This is classic highland Kenya, with cool air, giant groundsel plants, and views across the Rift Valley floor. The route follows forest and ridge paths used by local communities for generations, with local forest guides leading every step.
