TREETOPS:
Constructed
in 1932 near a water hole in the area presently known as the salient,
the Treetops site in a suitable location where guests can
drink in the sight of Elephants, Buffalos, Rhinos and more from
the safety of four viewing decks and a rooftop platform. Shutterbugs
can take close shots from two photographic hides at ground level.

About
Aberdares National Park
The Aberadares National Park has a variety of fauna flora
and scenery that you’ll seldom find elsewhere. Due
to the dense forest vegetation, you will need to do some searching
for the wildlife, but there are also many purposes built game viewing
lodges – Treetops and The Ark which attract a lot of visitors
to the park. Elephants and buffaloes are the dominant animals, but
rarer species can be found, including black rhinos, bongo antelopes,
black servals and the elusive black leopard. Hundreds of bird species
can be also be seen. The viewing platforms next to the dramatic
Chania Falls and Karura Falls
are popular; Gura Falls, which drops 300m into
thick forest, is more difficult to get to.
For the past few years the Rhino Ark organization
has been constructing an electric fence around the park perimeter.
Once finished, the 278 km barrier will keep animals within the park
and stop local villagers encroaching on the forest.
