area the Aberdare Rainforest feeds the entire local and Nairobi
water supply. Above the forest is a belt of bamboo, a favourite
haunt of the Bongo, a rare and elusive forest antelope. In the forest
are red Duiker, suni, Bushbuck - some of the old males are nearly
black - Elephant, Buffalo, Giant Forest Hog, Leopard- all black
examples have been recorded - and colobus monkey. Bird life is abundant

coppery-bronze with golden yellow edged wings and tail; the emerald
green Malachite Sunbird, and the tiny double collared Sunbird with

very local Montane Francolin on the moorlands. Birds of prey are
specially interesting and crowned and Ayres' Hawk Eagles, Mountain
Buzzard, Rufous-breasted Sparrow Hawk and African Goshawk are usually
