After lunch we’ll depart on special buses into the thick woodlands to the Ark at the heart of the Aberdare National Park. Situated in a fairylands forest, we can stay up all night long if we choose, game viewing from a variety of observation decks or an underground bunker. The Ark is situated beside a floodlit waterhole and natural saltlick, where a constant parade of wildlife will visit throughout the night.
