For lovers of all creatures great and small, Kenya’s The Ark, set in the game-rich Aberdare
National Park, has launched a webcam that streams live video 24/7 of wild
animals coming to its floodlit watering hole and salt lick. Guest wannabes, Ark-o-philes or the just
plain curious can virtually observe elephants, buffalo, impala and other game
quench their thirsts, soak up nutrients, vie for position or try to get
“teen-agers” to obey. Simply double click http: http://www.thearkkenya.com/live-webcam-feed.
Of course, nothing beats the real thing. Visitors to the quirky
venue, modeled after Noah’s Ark, have the advantage of not only watching the
phenomenon first-hand from one of the boat-shaped lodge’s four “decks” -- they
can take unforgettable photographs and videos.
Those who want to stay at The Ark will not have to suffer 40
days and 40 nights of rain – instead they will be treated to a cool climate and
gorgeous scenery including nearby Mt. Kenya, highest mountain in this East
African nation and a World Heritage Site. The Ark is an historic and “must-see” Kenyan
property whose uniqueness comes from a reversal of the game drive – animals
come to the people instead of the other way around. Die-hards can make use at
night of a buzzer system that alerts guests to sightings at the watering hole:
one buzz for elephant, two for rhino, three for leopard, and four for something
even more dramatic (use your imagination).
Come to The Ark two by two:
Rates start at: US$255 for a double room, and include full board, taxes
and service charge. Rates for a single start at US$150 with same inclusions.
