   Accommodation in Aberdares
 Fishing Lodge
Fishing Lodge consists of two cottages with two ensuite rooms each and a cosy central living room with a fire place. The location is stunning on a high plateau at 3000m surrounded by moorland and with great views. A stream that is great for fishing passes 100m from the lodge and one can do great walks to the waterfalls accompanied by a ranger. In spite of the high altitude, elephant herds often pass by the lodge.
 Outspan Hotel
A serene country hotel with historical charm, Outspan features a beautiful tropical garden with lush green lawns, views of Mt. Kenya and peacocks which grace the hotel grounds. Set in the highlands, it has refreshing mountain air and a very peaceful and relaxed ambience. It was built in 1927 and has 45 spacious and airy rooms, most with firpelaces and garden access. Three cottages are reminiscent of the 1920's in style and also have garden access. Breakfast and lunch are taken on a wide veranda with spectacular views of the mountain.
 Rhino Retreat
The private Rhino Retreat is a 3 bedroom cottage secluded in the hills above the Ark. The Retreat has its own waterhole, which attracts a regular stream of animals, in particular elephants, buffalo and bushbuck.

The lodge is managed by Rhino Ark, a fund raising initiative to benefit the local communities around the Aberdares, through fence and forest management, and the creation of wildlife sanctuaries - notably for the rhino as its name suggests.

It is positioned overlooking a flood lit waterhole and salt lick which attract elephants, rhinos, leopards and bushbacks among others. It has three decks with balconies and lounges which are great vantage points for game viewing. From the ground level bunker guests can take excellent pictures very close to the animals. A raised walkway from the main building provides another game viewing opportunity outdoors. Guests are accomodated in 60 ensuite cabins fitted with buzzers to announce the arrival of one of the "Big Five" at the waterhole.
 Treetops
