What is special about The Ark Lodge in Aberdare National Park?

The Ark Lodge is designed to resemble Noah's Ark and overlooks a floodlit waterhole and salt lick deep in Aberdare National Park. Rather than driving to find wildlife, guests simply wait — a room buzzer system announces special arrivals through the night. Elephants, buffalo, hyenas, bushbuck and giant forest hogs visit the waterhole, with possible sightings of the elusive black rhino and rare bongo antelope.

How do you check in to The Ark Lodge?

All guests check in through Aberdare Country Club before being transferred to The Ark by the lodge's vehicles — a drive of about 40 to 45 minutes through the park. From Nairobi, the road journey to the Country Club via Nyeri and Mweiga takes roughly 3 to 4 hours. Flying is faster: scheduled or charter flights from Wilson Airport reach Mweiga, Nyeri or Nanyuki airstrips in 30 to 60 minutes.

What rooms does The Ark Lodge offer?

The Ark offers 60 cosy cabin-style rooms in standard, superior and family categories, echoing the compact charm of a ship's berths. Standard Rooms have double or twin beds with en-suite bathrooms and forest views, Superior Rooms are larger with excellent waterhole views, and Family Rooms provide multiple beds. Multiple observation decks, a photography hide and wide-windowed lounges keep the wildlife theatre going all day.

When is the best time to visit The Ark Lodge?

June to October is the prime season at The Ark, when drier weather increases wildlife activity around the waterhole and improves visibility for observation and photography. January to February is another highly recommended window with clearer skies. March to May brings lush green-season scenery and spectacular waterfalls, though animals can be harder to spot in dense vegetation, while October to December is quiet and scenic with abundant birdlife.

What activities are available at The Ark Lodge besides waterhole viewing?

Beyond watching the floodlit waterhole, The Ark Lodge offers game drives, night drives, bird watching, photography tours using its dedicated hide, nature walks and horseback safaris exploring the moorland fringes. Half-board and full-board plans include hearty highland meals, with bush breakfasts, picnic lunches, sundowner cocktails and private dining also available. A gift shop, bar and lounge keep the atmosphere sociable between sightings.

Best Time to Visit

方舟旅馆

方舟旅馆坐落于阿伯德尔国家公园深处，是肯尼亚最独特的野生动物园旅馆之一。旅馆的设计灵感源自诺亚方舟，俯瞰着一个灯光照明的水塘和盐舔地，大象、水牛、鬣狗、薮羚、巨型森林野猪，以及偶尔出现的行踪隐秘的黑犀牛，日夜都会光顾这里。当特殊动物来到水塘时，客房内的门铃系统会发出警报，提醒客人。

最佳旅游时间

六月至十月——最佳野生动物观赏期

这是游览方舟旅馆的最佳季节。此时天气干燥，道路畅通，而且随着动物们寻找水源，水塘周围的野生动物活动也更加频繁。

能见度也更佳，更适合观察野生动物和摄影。

一月至二月——绝佳替代季节

另一个强烈推荐的季节。降雨量通常较少，天空晴朗，野生动物观赏依然极佳。这是摄影和欣赏阿伯代尔美景的最佳时节之一。

三月至五月——雨季

连绵的雨季将阿伯代尔变成郁郁葱葱的绿色天堂。瀑布水量充沛，气势磅礴，但部分道路可能会泥泞，在茂密的植被中可能难以发现野生动物。

十月至十二月——宁静优美

可能会有短暂的降雨，但公园仍然开放。

这里风景秀丽，鸟类繁多，游客数量通常比旅游旺季要少。

为什么选择方舟旅馆？

独特的旅馆，俯瞰着灯光照明的水塘和盐舔地。
在旅馆内即可欣赏到绝佳的夜间野生动物。
有机会看到邦戈羚羊、巨型森林野猪和黑犀牛等珍稀物种。
位于凉爽茂密的阿伯德尔生态系统中，与稀树草原公园的游猎体验截然不同。
著名的历史悠久的旅馆，是肯尼亚最具标志性的野生动物观赏地之一。
