"My wife and I had a lovely couple of days at The Ark Lodge, and we would happily recommend this unique and enchanting experience to anyone interested in Kenyan wildlife and an easy way to observe animals at close proximity. The hotel itself is wonderfully quirky in design, overlooking a watering hole that is regularly visited by a range of animals, including elephants, buffaloes, hyenas, and some truly MASSIVE warthogs! Sitting with a beer and quietly watching the animals drink from the watering hole is an experience that will live long in the memory. It was also nice to have access to the nearby Aberdare Country Club for additional hospitality, including the opportunity to swim in the pool and use the gym. The nature walk there was also very enjoyable. The only real downside was the size and simplicity of the rooms, along with the limited amenities and space. We were also located fairly close to the generator, which meant there was some noise at night. Thankfully, with days spent exploring the park, earplugs at the ready, and plenty of wildlife to watch, this wasn’t a major issue for us. The Ark Lodge is ideal for those wanting a stop-off on the way north in Kenya, or as part of a longer trip exploring the country. While I’m not sure whether we will return in the future, we would still recommend it for its unique décor, pleasant staff, and the unbelievable wildlife on display."

"Courteous staff, the rooms are great! The food fantastic! Nice to have proper hotel in Nyeri. Keep it up!"

"Old fashion, loose door locks, tv not working for the 3 nights, mattress gave me back pains, the dinner buffet is only one plate, fruits from the fridge. Even the staff look hungry and not motivated. The breakfast was good but their african tea tested bad. So if by bad luck you find yourself there. Avoid the african tea"
