Embark on a 2-day safari from Nairobi to Aberdare National Park. Enjoy a game drive and bird watching at The Ark Lodge, set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park.

Start with a pick-up from your hotel in Nairobi and depart for Aberdare National Park. Cross the Kenyan Highlands, through pineapple and coffee plantations, to your “base hotel” in time for lunch at Aberdare Country Club.

After lunch, transfer into Aberdare National Park and on to The Ark Lodge for bird watching and overnight floodlit game viewing from the lodge viewing decks. The Ark Lodge is a 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 60 guest rooms are all en-suite. All cabins have private bathrooms with a shower, and are comfortably furnished with bedside lamps and carpeted floors to ward off the evening and morning chill.

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.

On the second day, after breakfast, check out and depart for Nairobi. Drop off at the airport, hotel, or place of residence.

To guarantee availability book as soon as possible. Early booking is worth consideration especially if you planning the trip during high season like public holidays or weekends.
