Jambo - (slang for hello in Swahili)
Kenya
Maasai

The pastoral Massai numbering 250,000 share the Maa language form which their name derives, occupying the Narok and Kajiado districts of Kenya.  To the warriors the fashion of long hair is a sign of beauty instead of the women, beauty consists in having a shaved head polished brightly with fat with numerable beads that are part of the necklaces that decorate their body, neck, head, ears, wrists, arms, fingers, knees and ankles.

The Ark is located in thick woodland at the heart of Aberdare National Park. The lodge is known as a ’Tree hotel’ which is shaped to resemble Noah’s Ark, with decks and balconies in which to view the animals and the park.

Kenya - The Ark Lodge, Aberdare National Park

The Ark is a Game-viewing Lodge situated at an altitude of 7,600 Feet, deep in the heart of the Aberdare National Park of Kenya.

In addition to regularly seeing elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Leopard, and occasionally Lion, within unusually close photographe distances, there can also be seen the rarer forest animals such as Giant Forest Hog, Suni, Red Duiker, and the shy elusive Bongo, which was sighted no fewer than 133 nights in one year.
