The Ark

Today, Monday, we headed to the Aberdares region, which is a mountain range in Kenya's central highlands, reaching higher elevations. It was a very beautiful drive as the vegetation was very lush with cooler temps.  We seemed to need our jackets on most of the day and for night there was a hot water bottle waiting for us in bed.  Soooo cosy hopping into bed, even the guys weren't minding it.

We stayed at a tree lodge called The Ark, which was built on stilts in the middle of the forest where you were able to view animals coming to the waterhole.  It was a rainy day so unfortunately we did not see many animals.  We found out that this was where Queen Elizabeth became Queen as she was visiting there and staying at The Ark, at the time of her father's death.
