Day 6
Aberdare — Full-Day Highland Safari
Spend a full day in the Aberdare region, with game viewing or lodge-based wildlife observation according to the final plan. Forest wildlife can be difficult to locate, so sightings should never be guaranteed.

Day 8
Mount Kenya Region to Nairobi

Safari FAQs
Which Mau Mau Caves are visited?
Land Rail must confirm the exact site because several locations in central Kenya are associated with the Mau Mau period.
Does this include climbing Mount Kenya?
No climb should be implied unless a trekking activity is separately confirmed.
Is a Lake Naivasha boat ride included?
Only when it appears in the confirmed quotation.
Why spend two days in Aberdare?
The extra time allows the itinerary to experience the highland forest rather than treating it only as a transit stop.
