This is the most fantastic place. We saw a huge herd of elephants at the water hole - they arrived at about 5pm and stayed all night. There are various viewing points, some of which are high up and some at ground level so you get a superb variety of perspectives. The rooms are small but perfectly formed - but... more

The animals you see at Treetops , will be seen aplenty at other places but it is the perspective of peeping on the private affairs of elephants from way above them that makes it unique . As long as the elephants commandeer the waterhole , no other animal gets a look in , so the action starts late at night... more

We stayed here on the eve of my 28th birthday! It was fantastic - we didn't see anything overlly exotic - but we did see lots of elephant, buffalo and hyena. But this was just one day of a week long safari - plenty of lions in the Masai Mara to worry about seeing them here! You have to bear... more

Treetops is basically a big treehouse which is located next to a watering hole so the animals come to you. Its Querky and unique and we loved it. Having booked with Somak (Fantastic tour company) on the Thorn Tree Safari, Day 1 was a night at treetops after having arrived from london in the morning of day 1. it is... more

Why do people rave about this place? It is an over-priced has been that is past its prime and living off its history and faded days gone by! We expected the rooms to be small and this didn't bother us as we were only spending one night here. We know that you can't guarantee what, if any, wildlife will visit... more

I was surprised by all the negative reviews on treetops. I agree it is aged and possibly living off it's name, but isn't it's history part of the charm? I felt a bit privileged to stay there. Yes, the rooms are tiny and you have to share shower rooms that remind you of school, but you are on safari. 'Roughing... more
