The Ark, Aberdares National Park

Ark is a safari lodge located on the western slope of the Aberdares and is built adjacent to a waterhole and salt lick which are floodlit at night. The Ark provides several areas to watch the animals including a lounge/bar area, outside roof top, outside lounge and a stone room with a waist-high opening at ground level. The actual rooms are small (like a ship) and are equipped with a buzzer to wake one up for the arrival of certain animals. Or turn it off and sleep.
