Set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, The Ark is a unique game lodge that 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. Comfortable en-suite cabins are fitted with buzzers to announce the arrival of one of the "Big Five" at the waterhole.

The Ark has 60 'cabin-styled' rooms, comprising 6 single, 37 twin, 10 double and 7 triple-bedded cabins. All rooms 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. Located on one of the viewing decks is a lounge and a bar which remains open all night for tea and coffee.
