Really special place and overall experience. Can do better in calling out that the check in takes place in a different facility 20 minutes drive and that you need to add park fees to the total cost!

We had a wonderful stay. The Ark is nestled in the middle of the forest. As promised, animals come to the watering hole which you can view from balconies on each floor. We saw elephants, buffalos and baboons. One negative was the water in the shower took a very long time to get hot and the drain did not work properly, but other than that it was amazing.
