The Ark – Tree Hotel in the Aberdares

The Ark is a tree hotel in the heart of Aberdare National Park, built to resemble an ark and set over a floodlit waterhole. Each tier looks out over the same watering place, so guests can watch animals come to drink without leaving the building, including through viewing holes and from a deck.

The park’s forest is the main draw, and the hotel is designed so that you do not miss sightings at the waterhole, by day or after dark. A restaurant is on site, and The Ark is part of the same Marasa group as Aberdare Country Club, which is often used as the road-head for transfers into the park.
