Last Friday, with three other friends, we set off on a drive through the Aberdare National Park, entering its south-western Mutubio gate off the Njabini-Ol Kalou road. The objective was to have a leisurely game drive and come out on the northeastern side of the stunning park in Nyeri en route to Nanyuki.
At about 5pm we concluded our tour, breathless with awe at the stupendous views that the mountain range offered on that rare, sunny day. Google maps estimated that it would take about an hour and a half to drive the 60 kilometres to Nyeri on the extremely narrow Murram road peppered with tight hairpin turns throughout. Coming round one bend, we found a bull elephant. All six tonnes of him, in no hurry.
