4 days · By road · Nanyuki, the Aberdares
Short break · central highlands
Cool forests and mountain air. Begin at the foot of Mount Kenya for gardens, horses and views of the peaks, then spend a night watching elephants and buffalo come to a floodlit waterhole.
The signature moment: A buzzer in the night: elephants have arrived at the waterhole below your window.
