Ark, The | |
| |
Built to resemble Noah’s Ark it floats amid the forests of the Aberdare National Park, joined to the world by its own wooden drawbridge. It’s private waterhole, meanwhile, attracts animals from all over the park - notably large herds of elephant. No private vehicles are allowed within the confines of the Ark’s sanctuary and an expectant hush pervades its quaintly timbered corridors. It is the Ark’s spectacular wildlife viewing opportunities, however, that deliver its utterly unique appeal - allowing guests to see the wildlife from three different levels, and be literally feet away. | |
