      The Aberdare Range is a 160km long mountain range of upland, north of Kenya's capital Nairobi with an average elevation of 3,500 metres. It straddles across the counties of Nyandarua, Nyeri, Muranga, Kiambu and Laikipia.
      The north and south areas of the range are separate and only linked by hiking trails, with Aberdares highest point Mt Satima in between them.
