The hype and hubris exceeds the reality here. Yes the idea of a monster tree house above the waterhole is romantic and attractive but the reality was underwhelming. HM the Queen was here when sh earned that she had become monarch on he father's death. Food was terrible and the limited bar was extortionate. Rooms were minute (think submarine cabins)... More

I'll admit that on arrival, I was unimpressed: the fences seemed to ruin the view, Mt. Kenya was buried in clouds, a two-hour afternoon game drive was $85 per person (ha!), and the cake and scones served with the coffee were not stellar. But at nightfall, my opinions began to shift. There is a certain magic to watching the elephants,... More

Our stay inTreetops was the worst stay of any of the places we stayed on any of our trips allover Africa. The staff was unfriendly up to rude and totally unflexible. The rooms are noisy and food is mediocre. The waterhole is nice but with the fence it is clearly artificial, there is no attempt made to try to make... More

An majestic wooden structure with a rich history. The illuminated waterholes are literally meters away and offers a unique night time experience when you can hear the grazing elephants or fighting warthogs. We were alone in the 82 capacity lodge. I can imagine that the wooden floors will be noisy during busy times. The only slight negative was that a... More

This hotel was our first stop on our arrival to Kenya. We were taken away by finding an elephant right close to the pathway to the entrance of the lodge! Of course there was an electric fence but that big guy didn't look hesitant to charge it. But it gave us the "feel" of being in the middle of wilderness.... More

This is one of the oldest hotels, written about in books and yes, in history books too. But the watering hole, the vantage from the balcony ( we saw two leopards between tea & dinner !!) , the guided walk and the birds. It is a must-do Kenya safari hotel. Staff were great - the plumber in fact called out... More

First Off - the Lodge has been refurbished, and a lot of the poorer reviews on Trip Advisor are out of date. The rooms are comfortable and have on-suite facilities, and there is no longer a requirement to take just an overnight bag. The dining room is now individual tables, and food is adequate and plentyful. Breakfast is now served... More

Our safari consisted of 3 locations, treetops, flamingo hill in Nakuru and ashnil Masai Mara. We booked like this to maximise game viewing potential, and with the help of glorious safaris (Shadrack) we were able to enjoy an unforgettable honeymoon in Kenya. Complete with airport transfers and personal driver guide (Shauri) our trip allowed us to see the big 5... More

This was the most memorable part of our holiday in Kenya. Treetops is quite unique in its style and presentation and anyone who wants a friendly and interesting introduction to Africa and its wildlife should go there. Stephen, the animal warden, gave us a talk about the animals while we sipped an aperitif, his enthusiasm was complete for his love... More
