The Ark Kenya

The Ark Kenya Set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, iconic and yes, quirky, The Ark overlooks a floodlit There is even a golf course for those keen!

Set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, iconic and yes, quirky, The Ark overlooks a floodlit waterhole and saltlick, which attracts a host of awesome wildlife. Resembling and named after Noah’s Ark, The Ark is comprised of three decks from which numerous balconies and lounges provide a superb location for wildlife to be seen. The Ark has four viewing areas from which to observe the ever-pr

esent animal activity. There is also a ground level bunker – the perfect hideout for the discerning photographer. This is a circular pillbox-like structure, and it is from this vantage point that pictures of animals on the saltlick only yards away may be taken through the view holes in complete safety. As was described in Monty Brown’s book, “Haven Under the Hill”,
“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 primitive Africa, and where, very often, the visitor may enjoy in solitary state the beauty of it all.”
So that you don’t miss any animal sightings, the night watchman will buzz your room when special animals come to the waterhole. The sister property to The Ark, The Aberdare Country Club, is a perfect place to spend an afternoon, or to go have lunch, and is a short distance away.

You could stand still longer than planned.
Paired shapes in the branches, wings and reflections below the waterhole.
Just one of those small moments that makes you slow down.

We walked slowly through the Aberdares, cool mountain air and the sound of birds overhead, soaking in the quiet of The Ark, until the trail opened up and the waterfall came into view. Loud, powerful, and completely worth every step.

One of the most perfect times to view wildlife
is when the day is just beginning. The light is soft and the air is cool and the animals are most at ease, moving, feeding, crossing quietly through the landscape.

Elephants aren’t always in herds.
Many adult males live alone, and in forests, others may simply be out of view.
Nature moves on its own terms.

The best sightings aren’t scheduled.
You settle in… and nature decides to show up.
What’s the one animal you’d love to spot without leaving your seat?

Snacks on the table. A drink within reach.
And just beyond the glass, elephants moving quietly past.

This is what it means when we say the wild comes to you.
No rush. No noise. Just presence.
