Ashnil Aruba Lodge
The lodge features 46 rooms and 6 tents. Its location is superb, just a couple of hours from the coast of Mombasa and a 5-hour leisurely drive from Nairobi, located on the banks of Aruba Dam, which was built in 1952 as a sport fishing recreational point in the park. Several watering holes nearby attract wildlife, and spotting animals is easy because the park lies flat with savannah grassland.
Key Features
Key features include a swimming pool, spa, non-smoking rooms, restaurant, facilities for disabled guests, free WiFi, and a bar.
