Discover the Majestic Aberdare Range

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from Nyandarua Range to the Aberdare Range, start by taking the C68 road towards Nyahururu. Continue on this road for approximately 30 kilometers until you reach the junction at the town of Nyahururu. From the junction, take the C57 road towards Aberdare National Park. Follow the C57 road for about 15 kilometers until you reach the entrance of Aberdare National Park, which is well-marked. Note that there may be an entrance fee to the park, which varies but is generally around KSh 300 per person. Once inside the park, follow the signs to the various viewpoints and trails within the Aberdare Range.

• Public Transportation

  To reach Aberdare Range using public transportation, first, travel to Nyahururu by taking a matatu (shared taxi) from any major town in Nyandarua Range. Matatus usually leave from designated stops and the fare is approximately KSh 100-200 depending on your starting point. Once you arrive in Nyahururu, you will need to find another matatu that goes to the Aberdare National Park entrance, which might cost around KSh 150. Make sure to confirm that the matatu is heading to the park entrance. Upon arrival at the park, there may be an entrance fee of about KSh 300 per person. From the park entrance, you can either hike to the various attractions or hire a local guide for a more comprehensive experience.

• Taxi

  For a more comfortable and direct option, consider hiring a taxi from Nyandarua Range to take you directly to Aberdare Range. Negotiate the fare beforehand; expect to pay between KSh 3000 to KSh 5000 for a one-way trip, depending on your exact starting point and the taxi service. The driver will take you through the main roads to the Aberdare National Park entrance. Remember to check if the taxi can wait for you while you explore the park or if you will need to arrange for a return trip.
