Treetops

The most famous game viewing lodge in the world overlooks a water hole and salt lick high in the Aberdare National Park.

Treetops is the original tree lodge, legendary for its historical royal connection, for the animals it attracts and for the sheer joy of exploring a tree house visited by rhino, elephant, buffalo, lion, bushbuck, waterbuck and many other species.

The 50 twin bedded rooms are small and neat and cosy like cabins on board ship.

Dinner is imaginatively served at refectory tables with bench seating, which heightens the sense of adventure and stimulates conversation.

The emphasis is on making as little noise as possible so as not to scare away the animals. For this reason children under 5 are not allowed at Treetops
