The
most famous game viewing lodge in the world overlooks a
waterhole and saltlick high in the Aberdare National Park.
Treetops is the original tree lodge, built in 1932 and 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 and many other species.
You leave the Outspan Golf and Country Club after lunch for the
ten mile drive to Treetops and are met by a ranger who spells
out the common sense rules of behavior before he walks you to
the lodge for your overnight stay. The excitement of Treetops
stems from the fact that the animals don't realise you exsist
and they approach you fearlessly. Not only is it the closest you
can get to an animal in the wild, but it makes a welcome change
to have the animals come to you instead of the other way round.
There is a
spectacular view of Mount Kenya on a clear morning as you leave
Treetops for the return journey to the Outspan and an impressive
breakfast.
Several observation areas and
game viewing platforms on each floor. Open balconies are ideal
vantage points for viewing and photography and two photographic
hides at ground level at either end of the lodge allow really
close shots of unsuspecting animals.
