The Ark

Located in the heart of Aberdare National Park, The Ark encompasses three decks which are parts of various lounges and balconies. These are perfect locations for capturing the beauty of the adjoining water hole in all its entirety. Whenever there is a rare sighting, the staff notifies all its guests. Also, there are four viewing areas for similar purpose.

There is a bunker on the ground floor which has been constructed for the purpose of viewing and capturing the wild in its rawest form.

"In this intimate recess one can almost, but not quite, pat the animals, hear their sounds and smell the aroma of the night. This is a magical corner, where there is close contact with the essence that tells of an unexplored Africa, and where, very often, the visitor may enjoy in solitary state the beauty of it all." - Monty Brown's book, Haven Under the Hill
