Treetops Lodge - Aberdares

Treetops Lodge is a 36-room value accommodation that is known for one of its most famous visitors -- Queen Elizabeth. The night Princess Elizabeth spent at Treetops is also the day she rose to the throne as Queen as her father King George VI had passed away in Norfolk during her Commonwealth tour in Kenya.

Treetops Lodge is built on stilts based on a three story structure above a waterhole and a salt lick that attracts different animals. Treetops offers standard rooms including a handicap accessible room for guests with limited mobility, and the three large suites have separate sitting areas that overlook the watering hole.

Standard rooms have twin beds that can be converted into a double bed and en-suite bathroom with shower. The rooftop terrace is an admirable place to view the watering hole

An adequate buffet breakfast awaits you the next morning in the dining area, and you can spend the rest of the day viewing the animals at the lodge or partake of an optional game driving trip to the moorlands and salient wilderness. An add-on morning walking nature tour experience of the Aberdare forest and highlands lets you see black and white Colobus monkeys, baboons, Syke's monkeys and other smaller and discreet fauna that may not come to the watering hole.
