Day 1
Arrive in Nairobi
Transfer to the Sarova Stanley Hotel. Spend the day at your leisure and find a nice place for dinner.
Day 2
In the mountains of the Aberdares
After being collected from your Nairobi hotel, you will be driven to the famous Aberdare National Park. Aptly dubbed ‘Scotland with Lions', this charismatic Afro-Alpine realm showcases the wild beauty of the Aberdare mountain range where elephants roam through lichen-hung forests and spectacular waterfalls plunge into churning pools. Arriving in time for lunch at The Aberdares Country Club you will later be transported into the exclusive sanctuary that surrounds The Ark. A secluded lodge designed to resemble Noah’s Ark, this timbered lodge is unique, not least because of the splendor of the game-watching experience around its private waterhole, which attracts large herds of elephants.
