"Deep within Kenya's Aberdare Forest, The Ark, a new concept in game-viewing lodges, is playing a vital role in enabling man to study wild animals in their own surroundings. The Ark has given thousands of visitors an opportunity to see rare antelopes like the beautiful, timid bongo, the tiny, rabbit-sized suni, and the secretive red duiker, as well as observing the everyday life of elephants, rhinos, buffaloes and leopards in their natural habitats. The Ark's great personality, its Hunter, Lancastrian Dick Prickett, ex-forester, honorary game warden and student of Africa for many years, here gives the background to The Ark and describes in detail the animals, birds and trees found nearby. His personal diaries of animal behaviour during The Ark's first three years are fascinating, as are his humorous recollections of human behaviour at the lodge.".
