Traveller reviews

“Lovely place with amazing wildlife views. Can't wait to go back.”
23 Dec 2024
Love this place. Great old-school vibe, lovely staff, cosy place, good food, and the most amazing views over the watering hole.

“This is the place to stay.”
11 Oct 2024
It's simple. Looking to stay in or near Aberdare National Park? This is the place to go. While relatively expensive, the experience is absolutely amazing.

“We loved our stay 10/10!”
09 Jun 2024
Everything was fantastic, especially the warm welcome.

“Very HIGHLY recommend The Ark for a game viewing stay without leaving the hotel. Quite amazing.”
07 Jun 2024
The animal viewing from the decks was just fantastic. One can stay up all night and see the comings and goings of game. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We found it good value for money due to the animal viewing experience. So many elephants so close. We HIGHLY recommend The Ark for a game viewing stay without leaving the hotel. Shower gel, shampoo, hand cream and soap all supplied in the bathroom. Bottled water in the room.

“You must visit the Ark, an incredible animal sanctuary with amazing views of Kiri Nyaga.”
21 May 2024
The staff really make this an exceptional experience, starting at the country club (Paul and Nderitu), continuing on the drive (Stephen) and of course everyone at the Ark. Special mention to Anne at the Ark, expert in aromatherapy massage. The Ark is so relaxing and so quiet with a true emphasis on the animals. We have been drawn back to this beautiful place several times over the last 32 years and will continue to return.

“A fantastic place to relax and watch the wildlife”

Brilliantly original boutique style hotel with amazing views of animal visitors
