Set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, this unique game lodge overlooks a floodlit waterhole and salt lick which attracts a host of wildlife - elephant, rhino, leopard, bushbuck and occasionally an elusive bongo or giant forest hog. Resembling and named after Noah's Ark, The Ark comprises three decks from which numerous balconies and lounges provide superb vantage points for game viewing. A ground level bunker provides excellent photographic opportunities and takes you closer than you would believe possible to the animals. The Ark is reached via the Aberdare Country Club and is a forty minute drive.
The Ark has 60 comfortable en-suite cabins fitted with buzzers to announce the arrival of one of the "Big Five" at the waterhole. The cabins comprise 6 single, 37 twin, 10 double and 7 triple-bedded cabins. All cabins have private bathrooms with shower; all are comfortably furnished and enjoy a view of the forest waterhole.
Dinner and breakfast are served "On Board" in the main dining room. A gourmet Table d'Hote menu is on offer, and the food is all grown locally. The Ark and Aberdare Country Club are renown for the fresh vegetables, succulent meats and delicious puddings and desserts served at mealtimes. Located on one of the viewing decks is a lounge and a bar which remains open all night for tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Blankets are also available to ensure guests' comfort .
