TREETOPS
Treetops is one of the famous game lookouts in the world. In the afternoon you drive through the Aberdares National Park to a forest glade. Your professional guide will escort you on foot to Treetops perched high over a waterhole and saltlick. Here you will see a never ending procession of wildlife coming to drink and dig for salt. As dust approaches elephant, buffalo rhino and forest hog come to the clearing oblivious of the lodge and its guest above.

OFFICIAL CATEGORY (Ministry of Tourism Classification): 04****

LOCATION: In the Mount Kenya reserve, approximately 200 Kms (3 hours by road) from Nairobi.

DESCRIPTION: The lodge, a four story box like structure was built in 1970.
It overlooks a rural water hole and salt lick surrounded by dense forest. Mountain Lodge allows the visitor an up close and personal view of the dense forest which comes alive at dusk with the sounds of animals. On a clear day you can see the jagged peaks of Mt. Kenya. The lodge is rustic and natural and is the only “tree lodge” with direct access…no offset hotel acts as an assembly area. Bird watching is especially popular and the naturalist conducts daily safari walks through the forest nearby. In this other worldly setting, the drama of nature plays out daily, beneath the rocky, glacier-covered peaks of nearby Mount Kenya. A specially constructed viewing bunker is connected to the lodge by a short tunnel and allows an incredibly close view of game as they come to drink or partake of the salty silt

NUMBER OF ROOMS: Total of 42 categorized as 39 standard rooms and 03 VIP rooms.

Room décor: Each of the Lodge's tastefully decorated and recently refurbished rooms have ideal view of the waterhole below. The others have a large picture window with comfortable chairs for game viewing.

Room amenities: VIP rooms have a comfortable sitting area, small fridge, phone, and bathtub with shower. Standard rooms have showers only, and most have one double bed and one single bed. Some rooms have narrow open balconies with a cushioned bench and en suite facilities
