TREETOPS HOTEL

The famous Treetops Hotel in Aberdare started life in a very humble way. In 1932, its first visitors gingerly climbed the wild fig tree supporting the two-room tree house. By 1952, Treetops had expanded. Now a four-room construction. 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 II, her father, King George VI, had died during the night.

By now, Treetops reputation had spread far and wide; for the globetrotter, the rich, the famous, and the fashionable, no visit to Africa Kenya was regarded complete without experiencing the Treetops adventure. Treetops is sited in the heart of the dense lichen hung forest of the Aberdare National Park and overlooks two waterholes, and the magnificent snowy peaks of Mount Kenya. For the safety and comfort of several observation lounges, guests can photograph at close quarters the territorial charge of short sighted rhino, a protective elephant matriarch chaperoning her calf, the graceful bounding of a bushbuck doe. A family of leopards, have on few occasions, made a meal of warthogs to the fascinated horror of Treetops dinners.

For those guests who value their sleep as much as the nocturnal entertainment, everyone is allocated a comfortable bed in either a single or twin room with plentiful shared bathroom facilities, or on request, suites with its own bathroom. If you wish to do your Kenya safari game viewing experience the 'nocturnal way', the professional safari guide can wake you up each time one of the big five visits the tree house! Make sure you do not miss out your African safari experience of a lifetime.
