About Treetops Lodge
Nestled deep in the forests of Aberdare National Park, this world-renowned
rustic tree house is dedicated to game viewing. Originally built in 1932,
Treetops is famous as the place where the then-Princess Elizabeth learned
of her father's death and ascended to the British Throne in 1952.
Treetops lies in the path of an ancient elephant migratory route between
the Aberdare Mountains and Mt. Kenya National park, and is strategically
sited right in front of a watering hole and salt lick.
Guests can drink in the sight of elephants, buffalo, rhinos and more from
the safety of four viewing decks and a rooftop platform. Serious photographers
can take close shots from two photographic hides at ground level. History
buffs can get animal counts for years past. Die-hard animal lovers need
not worry about missed sightings, even into the early hours of the morning.
An optional buzzer in the rooms alerts the guests when a spectacle is
unfolding at the waterhole. Game drives and a lecture about Treetops are
also available to the guests.
This lodge-on-stilts is as space-efficient on the inside as it is unassuming
on the outside. Trees grow right through the building. There are 48 cozy
rooms and two suites, a lounge overlooking the waterhole and two bars.
There is also a restaurant where dinner is served on charming old world
refectory tables with bench seating. It is 17km away from Outspan Hotel,
where guests begin and end their journey to Treetops. Guests are advised
to bring warm clothing, as nights can get chilly at this lodge, which
is 6,450m above sea level.
Standard rooms at Treetops include communal bathrooms and toilet facilities,
upgrade to an en suite room on request and additional cost.
