After breakfast, travel by road from Nairobi through Kenya’s central highlands toward Aberdare National Park. The scenery shifts into a cooler, greener landscape of farms, forests, mountain slopes, and rural towns.

Along the way, you may visit a typical Kenyan open market in Karatina, offering a lively glimpse into everyday trade and community life before continuing toward the Aberdares.

Arrive at Aberdare Country Club, the base hotel for The Ark. After lunch, transfer to the famous tree-style lodge, taking only an overnight bag while your main luggage remains securely at the base hotel.

The Ark overlooks a floodlit waterhole and salt lick, allowing guests to watch wildlife from viewing decks and lounges. The experience is quiet, atmospheric, and ideal for travelers who enjoy the anticipation of animals appearing from the forest.
