Day 01: Nairobi - Aberdare, The Ark Lodge
Depart Nairobi in the morning and cross the Kenyan Highlands, through pineapple and coffee plantations, to your "base hotel" in time for lunch at Aberdare Country Club.
After lunch our safari driver/guide will transfer you to the The Ark Lodge/Hotel strategically located in the heart of Aberdares forests. Resembling and named after biblical Noah's Ark, the lodge has 60 "cabin-styled rooms, all of which have private bathroom and shower. This Ark (safari) lodge overlooks floodlit waterholes and saltlick, which attract a variety of wildlife (elephants, rhinos, leopards, bushbucks, bongos), that come here to quench their thirsty and lick on the salt.
For those of you who can't live without a cup of tea or caffeine, you can also quench your thirst in the lounge, which remains open all night long.
Enjoy your dinner & night at lodge.
