The lodge overlooks a watering hole and salt lick, attracting a variety of wildlife, and features four viewing areas, including a ground-level bunker. The rooms at Noah Ark are modelled after cabins, and each comes with a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Free WiFi is available in the public areas. Breakfast and dinner are served in the on-site restaurant, as either a buffet or set-menu offering, while lunch is served at The Ark's sister property. Lunch can be organised at Noah Ark by prior arrangement. Guests can also enjoy a drink from the bar. Guests at the lodge can also make use of the Library or browse through the gift shop.
