Mountain Lodge 1973

Mountain Lodge is a private hotel on the fringe of Mount Kenya National Park, at an elevation of 7200 feet. It is laid out specifically for animal watching: all of the rooms have large windows and balconies on the side of the hotel facing the forest. A large artificial watering hole in the clearing on this side of the hotel attracts forest animals, and lights are kept on all night so the attracted animals can be easily viewed. Perhaps not the most natural wildlife viewing site in the world, but a welcome change from seeing animals only from the ubiquitous safari vehicles.

Most of these shots were taken from the hotel viewing deck along with a mini van in the bush.
