The Ark is a very cosy, wooden lodge. Fire lit in the lounge area which was welcome as it was very cold at night (early Oct) Staff provided hot water bottles for our beds which was a lovely touch The buzzer system at night is a novel experience and of course we responded by getting up in the night. Room was simple and clean Would benefit from new windows but otherwise lovely ##### Pamela Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xiao Qian Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The manager Steven is very helpful.

They made us feel incredibly welcome despite our very late arrival. The waterhole, good and service are great and this has been our experience in Kenya so far. Love the overnight buzzer system which alerts you based on number of buzzes as to which animals have arrived at the waterhole The Ark needs new windows and the shower takes a while to warm up. It is cozy though with the big log fire and the thoughtful provision of hot water bottles at night. Definitely worth staying at least one night. Note check in times It’s important as the Ark is inside the park ##### Pamela Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Uschy Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful stay. The Ark is nestled in the middle of the forest. As promised, animals come to the watering hole which you can view from balconies on each floor. We saw elephants, buffalos and baboons. One negative was the water in the shower took a very long time to get hot and the drain did not work properly, but other than that it was amazing. ##### Uschy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rashmi Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location is very nice,staff is very cool. ##### Rashmi Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Such a nice place.
