The Ark

Four viewing platforms with brilliant views of the waterhole where elephants and other animals gather. There is also a ground-level viewing hide, of particular convenience to photographers who will want to be getting those eye-level shots. The lodge’s wildlife guide will ‘buzz’ rooms when species of significant interest appear at the waterhole. The beauty here is that you will only need to throw on your robe and slippers and head to the viewing platform to witness the action at a moment’s notice.

Breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant, whereas lunch is enjoyed at the nearby sister hotel, the Aberdare Country Club, where you can spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the hotel’s facilities like the swimming pool, or golf and tennis courts, if desired.
