The Treetops is the original tree lodge, and is world famous for its location facing a water hole and a salt lick in the Aberdares National Park as well as its historical royal connection. The lodge lies at 6,450 feet above sea level.

In 1932, its first visitors gingerly climbed the wild fig tree supporting the two-room tree house. In February of 1952, a young English girl climbed the tree as a Princess one afternoon, to descend the following morning as Queen Elizabeth II --her father, King George VI had died during the night.

 About The Treetops

Kenya Safari Accommodation And More At Treetops

The lodge rises straight out of the ground on stilts.

It has 4 decks and a rooftop-viewing platform.

There are 50 twin bed rooms, which are neat and cozy and are designed like cabins on board a ship.

Dinner is imaginatively served at tables with bench seating.

Coffee and liqueurs are served in the comfortable lounge, which features picture windows and trees growing through the building.

The bar is open every night till midnight.

Mount Kenya's breath taking view is visible on clear mornings.

Treetops have open balconies for viewing and photography; two photographic hides at ground level at either end of the lodge allow really close shots of unsuspecting animals.

There is an optional buzzer in every room that alerts the guests if something special were to show up at night.
