Cedar Retreat Campsite, Aberdares National Park

Although it is only a 20-30 minute drive from Twin Peaks, the experience in this ancient cedar forest is vastly different. Enchanting would be an understatement; the old-growth forest is so untouched and unspoiled that the tall trees seem to tell silent tales of a bygone era. Your stay at this campsite can be arranged through Cedar Retreat, which will position you in one of the oldest portions of the cedar forest. It’s an experience you will not regret.

The forest is home to numerous, albeit elusive, species of animals. Keep an eye out for the occasional herd of forest-dwelling zebras, and don’t miss the opportunity to witness salt-licking elephants that often appear at night. Primarily, though, this is a campsite for botanists, who are sure to marvel at the stunning array of beautiful flora on display.
