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. In 1932, its first visitors gingerly
climbed the wild fig tree supporting the two-room tree
house. Treetops welcomed a young English girl, its most
famous visitor. This young English girl climbed the tree
as a princess one afternoon, to descend the following
morning as Queen Elizabeth I I, her father, King George
VI, had died during the night.
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.
