Treetops Lodge - Aberdares and Mount Kenya
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. 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 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.
Treetops Lodge also has a restaurant where dinner is served on
charming old world refectory tables with bench seating. Guests
can drink in the sight of Elephants, Buffalos, Rhinos and more
from the safety of four viewing decks and a rooftop platform.
Shutterbugs can take close shots from two photographic hides at
ground level.
