The Ark
*Unique View - overlooking the Yasabara waterhole, perhaps
the largest salt-lick in the Aberdare Mountains, and the haunt of a
variety of forest game.
*All In The Same Boat - stay in a tree lodge, uniquely
shaped to resemble the actual Ark.
*Visual Splendour - numerous balconies and deck lounges
provide superb vantage points for viewing the animals visiting the
salt-lick and waterhole, while the ground-level bunker provides
excellent photographic opportunities.
Opened in November 1969, The Ark is a tree lodge, uniquely shaped to
resemble the actual Ark.
Access to vehicles is limited to conserve and protect the environment
which hosts wildlife such as elephant, rhino, buffalo, bush bucks,
giant forest hogs, Sykes monkey, leopard, and bongo. After lunch at The
Aberdare Country Club, you can take a 45-min game drive within the
National Park, arriving back at the lodge in time for afternoon tea.
The Yasabara waterhole and salt-lick is frequented by great numbers of
animals including rare creatures such as the suni, and genet cat. The
waterhole is floodlit until dawn to enable all-night viewing of game.
The Ark provides a buzzer alarm in each cabin which is sounded by the
game-spotter on duty to alert you when an interesting animal appears,
or when something unusual happens. If you do not wish to be disturbed,
the buzzer can be turned off.
Children under the age of 7 are not permitted at the Ark unless on
special "Children's nights".
Location
The Ark is a standard safari lodge situated in the Aberdare National
Park, in the Rift Valley, in Kenya.
