Treetop Lodge

Treetops Hotel is a hotel in Aberdare National Park in Kenya near Nyeri’s township, 1,966 m (6,450 ft) above sea level on the Aberdare Range and insight of Mount Kenya. First opened in 1932 by Eric Sherbrooke Walker, it was literally built into the tops of the trees of Aberdare National Park as a treehouse, offering the guests a close view of the local wildlife in complete safety. The idea was to provide a machan (hunting platform on a tree during shikar in India) experience in relative safety and comfort.

The hotel is known as the location where Princess Elizabeth acceded to the United Kingdom’s thrones and Commonwealth Realms upon the death of her father, George VI, while she was staying there in 1952.
