PARKS AND RESERVES: ABERDARE NATIONAL PARK: CAMPING
 

    Camping in the park is restricted since at the beginning of the 80's some campers were attacked by lions. It seems that the attacking animals were several semi-tame lions used for a film. Possibly these lions had become so familiar with humans that did not dare to attack. Otherwise, perhaps they encroached the rest of the population that then had to modify their killing habits. In any case, incidents resulted in the prohibition to camp outside of the Salient and in limitations for walking through the high moorlands.

    The Reedbuck public camp site, relatively new and close to the fishing lodge, is now the only authorised camp site in the high moorlands. It provides water, firewood, toilets and rain shelter, but there is no food, so do not forget your own supplies. Public camp sites at Chania Falls and Queens Banda, closed in the early 90's, seem to be open now.

    In the Salient area there are eight special camp sites, one in Prince Charles, two in Kiguri and five in Muringato. For reservations and appointments for nature walks, contact the Warden, Aberdare National Park, P.O. Box 22, Nyeri.
