The Treetops Lodge

Very welcoming and accommodating staff at this historically renowned hotel. Recently refurbished rooms. Hot water bottles a lovely touch in the evenings. Great lunch and dinner options, breakfast a bit limited and would be nice to get fresh coffee instead of instant.

We really enjoyed our stay at the renovated and reopened Treetops Lodge. The suite in which we stayed was spacious with excellent amenities, a great view of the watering hole, and a nice bathroom. The food was very good, the wildlife plenty, and the staff very friendly and helpful. As part of the renovations, they added ramps to all the floors, making the hotel much more accessible. We would recommend getting passes to the Aberdare National Park Treetops gate in advance through the Kenya Wildlife Service online portal once you know the date of your arrival. You can obtain passes at the gate, but the process can take time and is more cumbersome than doing it in advance through the KWS site on the Kenyan ecitizens platform.

The iconic Treetops is the start of our Kenyan adventure and does not disappoint. |The staff are lovely and the food (buffet) is very good.|Elephants and buffalo are plentiful at the watering hole to lick the salt that has been put out for the animals for decades. You certainly need to put your buzzer on at night. At some point in the night the buzzer sounded 3 times, we jumped out of bed and there was a huge rhino!! Amazing! |The rooms are very comfortable and the prices of the wine and beer very reasonable. (Beer £2.50 ish, bottle of wine £13)

Treetops Hotel offers an unforgettable experience that beautifully blends history, wildlife, and tranquility. From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in nature, with breathtaking views of the Aberdare forest and a front-row seat to wildlife at the nearby waterhole. The hotel’s rich history, famously known as the place where Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne, adds a sense of timeless charm. The rustic treehouse design, elevated walkways, and cozy ambiance make you feel part of the surrounding wilderness. Staff are warm, welcoming, and attentive, always ready to share knowledge about the animals and the hotel’s heritage. Evenings are peaceful, with opportunities to spot elephants, buffalos, and other wildlife from the safety of your room or lounge. Perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and those seeking a serene retreat away from the city. Treetops is not just a hotel; it’s a memorable adventure.

A week romped up place. Start very friendly and welcoming. Good will presented and well prepared. The place is quaint yet had a 5 star feeling to it, indoor of being out in the bush. Good animal sighting. A must go

A building and setting entrenched in history which is depicted on the walls. The refurbishment is tasteful and the service is excellent. This is something you need to do once. The watering hole had over 60 elephants visit in our one night, along with Waterbury, hyenas, buffalo, rhino, warthog etc… too many to name. This is a must.

This was a great restful stay. Great service and food and relaxing spot. I would say that if the animals are not around, they could offer a game drive for customers to enhance the experience.

Wow! Had a fantastic night here. Staff was friendly, food was wholesome and the animals coming to the water hole simply magical. All this for a very reasonable price. If I had to nit pick the water for the shower was inconsistent, ran very hot then cold but we made do. Will definitely be back.
