High up, you will feel somewhere else for sure, the scenery there is simply the best, but the animals are shy

This was a novel experience as there are no game drives. The lodge is built over natural watering hole and the game come to you. There are viewing platforms and a "bunker" area where you can get a fantastic overview of the wildlife and witness things in a more panoramic way than you might see from a safari vehicle. They also provided a lecture about the lodge and the wildlife, comfortable lounging areas and bar, and the food was very good as well. We saw many elephants, hyenas, cape buffalo, bush pigs, warthogs, and many birds such as herons, cranes, pelicans, and a variety of smaller birds. The setting is very lush and beautiful.

We didn't see quite as much wildlife in the Aberdare but had a great time! Definitely need a car with high clearance - the roads are rough but do-able & make for a fun adventure with the right people.

“Birding” tour in The Ark Lodge in Aberdare consisted of filling a bird feeder with fresh seeds - that was all. Also didn’t like the atmosphere.

We didn't see ANY OTHER car or person in nation park. It was so quiet and natural with fantastic falls. Leopard just walked over the road in front of our car. Somehow like a paradise.
