Treetops Lodge

Located in Aberdare National Park, this world-renowned rustic Treehouse is over 80 years old and was recently fully refurbished. This game viewing lodge was originally built in 1932 and is famous as the place where the then-Princess Elizabeth ascended to the British Throne. The father King George VI died on 5th Feb 1952 the night she spent at Treetops while on honeymoon.Treetops lies in the path of an ancient Elephant migratory route between the Aberdare Ranges and Mt Kenya National park, and is strategically sited right in front of a natural watering hole and salt lick.With large windows fitted in all guest rooms, restaurant and lounge guests can drink in the sight of Elephants, Buffalos, Rhinos and more from all areas including the view deck on top floor of the building. Die-hard animal lovers needn't worry about missed sightings, even into the early hours of the morning. An optional buzzer in the rooms alerts the guests when a spectacle is unfolding at the waterhole. Game drives and a lecture about Treetops are also available to the guests.This lodge-on-stilts is accessed through a gradual ramp to the top floor and a Tree grows right through the building. There are 36 en-suite guest rooms that include 3 spacious suites and 33 twin rooms that can be converted into double rooms. A disabled friendly room is located on the first floor.

Built around an ancient tree, in a wood building on stilts, this old-world lodge in Aberdare National Park overlooks a watering hole. It’s 16 km from a museum dedicated to Boy ScoutsAssociation founder Lord Baden-Powell, and 17 km from Nyeri town centre.

Down-to-earth rooms feature wood accents, and some have tree branches growing through them. Suites add sitting areas and watering hole views.

Amenities include a formal restaurant, a casual outdoor bar, and a cosy lounge bar with a library. There are game-viewing decks, 1 of which is rooftop, and game drives are available. Kids age 5 and over are welcome.
