About this activity

Spend three days tracking Kenya's iconic wildlife—elephants, buffalo, and leopards—through the misty forests of Aberdare National Park, combining game drives and horseback riding with stays at two contrasting luxury lodges: the colonial Aberdare Country Club and the distinctive Noah's Ark-style hotel famous for its animal viewing platform.

Experience the Aberdare National Park where you will search for the big herds of Elephants, buffaloes and Leopards in the forest. Get a combined stay in Aberdare Country Club with its own conservancy plus the famous Noah’s Ark like hotel. Indulge in the many exciting activities like horseback riding in search of the game or just relax at the viewing deck at The Ark and wait for the animals to come to the watering hole.

Optional extension at extra cost include:
• Flying Package.
• Samburu Safari.
• Hiking Mt Kenya.
• Upgrade to a Safari Land cruiser.

Insider tips

  • ★The Ark's viewing platforms are most active at dawn and dusk when animals congregate at watering holes—plan to be stationary during these peak hours rather than on drives
  • ★Horseback riding safaris offer a quieter approach to game; wear long trousers and closed shoes even if not experienced
  • ★Aberdare's elevation (up to 4,000m) means mornings are cool—bring layers even during Kenya's warm seasons

Good to know
