The Ark Aberdare

The Ark Aberdare Safari Lodge resembles that large wooden ship in the Bible with a touch of humour but it is also well-loved and luxury accommodation in one of Kenya’s prime game reserves.

Find The Ark on a floodlit waterhole where wildlife gathers frequently, especially Black Rhino, elephants, leopards, bushbuck and lions attracted by the salt lick. Not only is there a convenient hide at the waterhole level, but so too can keen game viewers stand on one of the three open and large decks also offering lounges with great vantage points to take in such astonishing vistas. Walk slowly along the attractive elevated boardwalk to get different vantage points of the wild animals, the splendid sunrises and mesmerising sunsets. How convenient to have a buzzer in your room to herald the arrival of a big 5 species at the waterhole!

Make yourself at home in The Ark Hotel Kenya-  in the log-cabin style bar area, dining room and two plush lounges. Choose from single cabins for couples, king cabins with king-size beds, queen, twin and family suites – which are spacious and offer two single beds and one king-size bed.

Game viewing on 4×4 safaris, walking safaris, birding and trips to the moorlands to be blown away by the magnificent waterfalls of River Magura, River Karuru and River Chania. Throw a line to catch a fresh trout in the Chania river within the Aberdare National Park, a beautiful conservation area known for its high altitudes and many water courses.
