Aberdare National Park

Few places concentrate wild Africa like Aberdare National Park, in Central Kenya, Kenya. It's a landscape managed for one thing — wildlife — which means game drives here are the real, unfenced thing: sightings unfold on the animals' terms, and that's exactly the point.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Kenya: The original safari, still magnificent. Most travelers weave Aberdare National Park into a longer route taking in Masai Mara, Amboseli elephants and Rift Valley lakes.

The operators on SafariSuite run Aberdare National Park regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
