An eye-catching treehouse-style hotel in Kenya’s Aberdare National Park
The Ark is one of Kenya’s more unusual hotels, built literally in the style of Noah’s Ark, and is beautifully situated overlooking a waterhole in the heart of Aberdare National Park. This triple-storey hotel has 60 comfortable cabins, so it’s fairly large and best suited for those who enjoy mixing with fellow travellers. The drawcard here is its position – this game-rich reserve has a staggering diversity of wildlife that is drawn to the waterhole. At night, floodlights are switched on so viewing can continue after dark from the comfort of the lounges, dining room and multi-level decks.

Classic, comfortable and affordable base for exploring the Aberdares.
Aberdare Country Club is a large country estate on the slopes of Mweiga Hill in the Aberdare Highlands, part of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. This former colonial homestead is a national heritage site, and offers beautiful country accommodation with all the charm of a relaxed family residence. The property has wonderful views of the Aberdare Mountains to the west, and Mount Kenya to the east, and is situated within a five-square-kilometre private nature sanctuary. Play golf (give way to zebra and warthog), go horseriding on the estate, or visit the nearby game reserves and other places of interest.
