We visited Aberdare Country Club Hotel Aberdare for lunch, followed by overnight at "the ark" as part of assignment for weekend newspaper.
You arrive, at Aberdare country club, check luggage into storage, have lunch and then go to the ark. We followed the advice on here and upon arriving booked for a safari ride instead of going straight to the ark. An excellent decision as we had a truly atmospheric game drive instead of an extra couple of hours at the ark which, to be honest, was excellent.
