The Treetops overlooks two waterholes, a salt lick both of which attract a great variety of animals, which means guests do not need to go out on safari. On clear days you can even see the snowy peaks of Mount Kenya. The lodge boasts two photographic hides at ground level at either end of the lodge to allow really close shots of unsuspecting animals. It has 4 decks and a rooftop-viewing platform.

Treetops Lodge is also famous for its historical royal connection. One afternoon in February of 1952, a young English girl climbed the fig tree as a Princess , to descend the following morning as Queen Elizabeth II --her father, King George VI had died during the night.

With the focus being game viewing the features are simple and the dining area sociable with bench seating. Treetops has 50 simply, cot-like rooms, designed like cabins on board a ship, which have open balconies for viewing and photography, shared toilet and shower facilities.

Coffee and liqueurs are served in the comfortable lounge, which features picture windows and trees growing through the building.

As the game comes to the lodge, no game drives or walking Safaris are needed.
