leaving for another game drive this afternoon. We
will be back in time for warm shower or may be a drink

Amboseli – Aberdare National Park/Mt. Kenya
National Park
Depart Amboseli by road after breakfast .Our destination
today is the Aberdare National Park. We stop for lunch
at an upscale restaurant in Nairobi and travel overland
through plantations of coffee and tea to The Aberdare
Country Club, nestled on the slopes of Mweiga Hill.
After high tea, set off for the Ark tree lodge, located
in the forest on mountain slopes of the Aberdare Mountains
at 7,000 feet. This outstanding lodge offers high
altitude game viewing, including animals that are
rarely encountered elsewhere: giant forest hog, bush
pig, tree hyrax, large spotted genet, and the elusive
bongo.
Wildlife can be observed
from different levels – and from outside where
you can see, hear and smell everything and inside
where you can sit with a cup of tea and stay warm
and cozy. You can put in a request to be awakened
during the night if your favorite animals show up.
A herd of Elephants might be just feet away and if
you are lucky, a Leopard or large male Lion might
put in an appearance.

Discover Masai Mara
The search for great predators and perhaps even cubs
continues today during extensive game runs. On the
plains are enormous herds of grazing animals plus
the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia
