Above the dense cloud forest of Aberdare National Park, The Ark is a unique tree lodge that overlooks a floodlit waterhole. Resembling and named after Noah's Ark, the lodge has 60 cabins with en-suite bathrooms and makes efficient use of limited space.

The lodge has several decks, each looking out over the large waterhole and from which numerous balconies and lounges provide superb vantage points for game viewing.  

A ground level bunker with turrets offers excellent photographic opportunities.

Elephant, black rhino, buffalo, lion, and many others come to the water's edge and a gentle buzzer in your room ensures you don't miss a thing - like the elusive leopard snealing up for a quick drink.

Bird life is abundant, with over 250 species recorded. 

All the 'cabins' at The Ark have an en-suite shower and bathroom, and are situated on three levels.  Triple rooms can also be booked for families.

The sister property to The Ark is the Aberdare Country Club, which is a short distance away and is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. Activities include a game walk on their 1,300 acres estate, golf, tennis, horseback riding, relaxing at the health club, taking a dip in the swimming pool, or simply enjoying the gorgeous gardens.

Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is nestled along the Lion Hill overlooking the spectacular flamingo pink rimmed Lake Nakuru. Its location affords panoramic vistas of the lake and the picturesque Lake Nakuru National Park.

Lake Nakuru National Park was created in 1968 to protect the huge flocks of lesser flamingo that breed and nest at the edge of Lake Nakuru, giving it the characteristic pink rim. Lake Nakuru National Park covers 188 square kilometers of land - from lake water, woodland, bush grassland, to rocky ridges. The Park is also home to over 400 species of birds and one of the few places to see the endangered black rhino. Other wildlife at the Park includes lion, leopard, zebra, gazelle, eland, giraffe and the hyrax.

The lodge is cleverly laid out such that most rooms and sitting areas afford stunning views of the Lake and the Park. The Lodge incorporates natural landscaping with tall acacia trees, winding walkways and greens dotted with bird feeds, and is a natural haven for bird life.

The main restaurant serves buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there is also the Rift Valley Bar, which opens out into an amphitheater where traditional dance performances are held each evening. The bar offers spectacular views of the sunset over the lake and hills beyond, andis an ideal place to unwind with sundowner.

The lodge offers 64 standard rooms (of which 14 are interconnecting, making these an ideal choice for families) plus 3 suites. All the chalet style rooms and suites have private patios with panoramic views of the flamingo pink rimmed Lake Nakuru.

The swimming pool adjoins a a wellness tent, where guests can enjoy a soothing massage. There is an activity room which is well stocked with indoor games and other recreation facilities for children, and a Sarova Shop for gifts and souvenirs.

Situated in Kenya's Masai Mara Reserve, Keekorok Lodge was the first of its kind to be built in the reserve.  It offers the highest standard of comfort and luxury, yet still retains its intrinsic 40 years and more of history, tradition, character and charm.

There's always plenty of activity around the waterhole and surrounding plains, but this is especially true during the Great Migration, as the lodge is strategically located in the direct path of the migrating herds. This spectacular event of nature brings thousands of wildebeest, zebra, other plains game and their predators into the area each year between July and October.

The lodge has an outdoor swimming pool, the 'Eseriani Spa' providing a range of professional health and beauty treatments, a restaurant serving international and local cuisine, 3 bars, cafe and television lounge.  All meals are buffet style with a huge choice of freshly prepared options. Complimentary tea and coffee is served on the terrace throughout the day.

A short stroll along the wooden platform takes you to the Hippo Bar for the unique experience of observing hippos wallong in their pool. Alternatively follow the path through the trees to the Elephant Deck for a wonderful place to observe the surrounding wildlife.

Early morning and evening game drives can be arranged, but there is no better way to see the animals and countryside than to drift over the plains in a hot air balloon at dawn, culminating in a champagne breakfast. Other activities include bird watching walks, masai dancing and wildlife lectures (additional cost).

Keekorok Lodge offers 101 rooms and suites in total. The accommodation is set out in single storey blocks and shaded chalets, all of which have been constructed using indigenous materials such as cedar wood and pink and grey sandstone - the colours look truly stunning against the ground's well-kept lawns.  All rooms have en-suite bathrooms and an outside seating area with calming views either of the pool, the gardens or the Mara plains.
