I saw many elephants nearby the lack，the design of The Ark is so nice that creating a warm atmosphere.A little civet came at night on the
stairs.

“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 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.

High up, you will feel somewhere else for sure, the scenery there is simply the best, but the animals are shy
The Abaredares National Park is 750 sqkm large mountain range south of Mount Kenia. Unlike the other parks in Kenia ist covered with dense forests and swampy highl ands which are rarely visited. Most visitors just stay overnight in on of the two lodges (the ark, treetops), watching the wildlife around the salt ponds close by.
The wildlife contains mainly elephants and buffalos in great numbers as well as waterbucks and other antelopes, hyenas and rarely leopards and the giant forest hog.
If you stay a day longer a trip throgh the forests to highlands can be organised. You might spot Sykes and Colobus monkeys in the forests and can visit the nice waterfalls.
Protection by a KWS ranger is mandatory.
We drove through the Aberdare National Park from Naivasha en-route to Shaba. It is stunningly beautiful! Incredible views and lush vegetation. There are several waterfalls to see. We stopped at Karuru Waterfall. You can walk about 15mins down a path to get to the viewing point. It is breathtaking - water plummeting down from 700ft!
