The Ark Tree Lodge, Kenya - The Ark Tree Lodge;
Aberdare National Park, Kenya:
Set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, The
Ark is an unique tree lodge with a veranda that
overlooks a floodlit waterhole and saltlick allowing
undisturbed views of wildlife visiting the waterhole.
Elephant, rhino, leopard, bushbuck and occasionally an
elusive bongo and giant forest hog have been sighted.
The Ark Tree Lodge is 16km (10 miles) from the Mweiga
airfield or one hour's drive from Nyeri airstrip or
two hours from Nanyuki. The Ark has gradually
increased its carrying capacity as demand dictated,
and today can hold 123 guests.
- The 60 guest rooms are
all en-suite. All cabins have private bathrooms with
shower, and are comfortably furnished with bedside
lamps and carpeted floors to ward off the evening and
morning chill. Close to your room are views of the
forest or waterhole, revealing game. Cabins are
provided with water flasks and glasses, hot water
bottles and extra blankets. The bathrooms contain
115/240v shaving socket, shower stall, washbasin and
flush toilets.
The Main Dining Room is set off from the Bar. Long
tables are softly lit, and the split-level room has a
glass wall with superb views of the dense forest. The
menu is a cosmopolitan combination of European and
Kenyan dishes, made from fresh Kenyan produce.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are Table d'hôte. Lunch is
only served to guests staying for more than one night,
or upon special request. Seating capacity is 140
people. Located on one of the viewing decks is a bar
and lounge which remain open all night for tea and
coffee.

- The Ark tree viewing balcony resembling and named
after Noah's Ark, The Ark Tree Lodge is designed with
'decks' from which numerous balconies and lounges
provide superb vantage points for game viewing. A
ground level bunker provides excellent photographic
opportunities and takes you closer than you would
believe possible to the wildlife.
-
Elephants visting Ark Tree Waterhole In each room, a
buzzer system will alert you when there is something
special to see, such as a leopard who might sneak to
the floodlit waterhole in the dead of night. The
ground level viewing area provides incredible
photographic opportunities as the Elephants come
almost close enough to touch. The whole experience at
the Ark feels slightly unreal as there is so much
going on, and all you have to do is wait on the
balconies with your camera and binoculars.
The Yasabara waterhole and salt-lick is frequented by
great numbers of animals, elephant, rhino, buffalo,
lion, leopard, and bushbuck, besides other rare
creatures such as the suni, and genet cat. To enable
guests to continue watching late into the night, the
waterhole is floodlit from 1800 hours to dawn. Spare
blankets are available for guests' use in the lounges.
Photographic flashlights are not permitted as some
animals are startled by flashlights and are scared
away.
Access to vehicles is limited in order to conserve and
protect the environment which hosts wildlife such as
elephant, rhino, buffalo, bush bucks, giant forest
hogs, Sykes monkey, leopard, and bongo.
