Smaller Animals of the Ark

We spent a single night at The Ark in the Aberdare Forest but we had some pretty neat encounters there all the same, enough that this video is only part of what we saw there with the other half coming next week. This round focuses on the smaller animals such as bee-eaters, mongeese and suni which we saw and which often don't get the spotlight in these shorts as they can be very elusive and hard to get good footage of. Such was not a problem in the Aberdare.

There's pictures of the Ark in the post above and footage of it in the clip, so I won't bore you with information about the entrance. Below is a stock photo from the internet (and apparently the only one of its kind) which I am forced to use since the back is inaccessible as its typically full of elephants or cape buffalo. The areas marked in yellow are enclosed viewing decks, the areas in magenta are outdoor viewing decks, the cyan box is our approxiamate window position and the red outline is my personal favorite: the bunker which puts you at eye level with the animals and creates an experience I have yet to find anywhere else.

Our room was snug but functional. We had a pretty quiet time for larger animals while we were there and didn't get a terribly good nights sleep since there is a buzzer system in place to alert you if neat animals show up and we were both awake most of the night waiting for it to go off. We also aren't really used to twin beds which would likely account for some rough sleep as well.
