Lodge
The Ark
Outside protected areasby Marasa Africa
Ark-shaped tree lodge in the forest of Aberdare National Park overlooking a floodlit waterhole and salt lick, with viewing decks and a night buzzer that wakes guests when special animals arrive. A ground-level circular bunker lets photographers shoot animals at the salt lick through view holes at close range.
