Experience world-class service at The Ark Lodge

Quirky and iconic, Noah Ark is set in the heart of the Aberdare National Park, in Nyeri. The lodge overlooks a watering hole and salt lick, attracting a variety of wildlife, and features four viewing areas, including a ground-level bunker. The rooms at Noah Ark are modelled after cabins, and each comes with a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Free WiFi is available in the public areas. Breakfast and dinner are served in the on-site restaurant, as either a buffet or set-menu offering, while lunch is served at The Ark's sister property. Lunch can be organised at Noah Ark by prior arrangement. Guests can also enjoy a drink from the bar. Guests at the lodge can also make use of the Library or browse through the gift shop.

The location is fantastic! It's an unforgettable experience to see elephants, hyenas, buffalos, impalas, warthogs and other animals so close by. The place is very charming.

The animal encounters were amazing. All the staff were great but Christine was incredible - I would have to say she was the best staff member I have ever experienced in any hotel across the world.
