Description

In the forest you will able to see Somali Short-toed Lark, Blue-capped Cordonbleu, Red-cheeked Cordonbleu, and Crowned Hornbill.
In the bush and on the golf greens you will be able to spot the Red-billed Firefinch, Cape Robin-Chat and Cardinal Woodpecker. And due to the fact that this is a wild sanctuary, you will also see giraffe, eland, impala and zebra.
The most conspicuous group is the Sunbird, with seven species that include: Tacazze Sunbird, Golden-winged Sunbird, Malachite Sunbird and the Collared Sunbird.

Access
Aberdare Country Club is located two and a half hours northeast of Nairobi. Press P on the map for directions. It is best to explore the area on foot. Because it is a hotel, you will either have to stay the night or have lunch or an afternoon tea (which is what I did), in order to go walking around and spotting the local birds.
