English: The Aberdares in central Kenya are a 160km long mountain range north of Kenya’s capital Nairobi with an average elevation of 3,500 metres above sea level. The range’s highest summit, Oldonyo Lesatima (Mt Satima), is 4,001 m (13,127 ft) above sea level and is on the north of the range. All of them fall under the jurisdiction of the Aberdare National Park. The Satima trail is the most scenic and gentle of all the Aberdare trails, with the route hugging the escarpments above undulating valleys and hills of rich alpine and sub-alpine flora, including species of lobelia, erica, giant helichrysum and tussock grasses.
