In 1932, Treetops Lodge materialized as a modest two-room haven, ingeniously nestled within the ancient boughs of a colossal 300-year-old fig tree. Guests would ascend into the canopy, leaving the world below to explore the secrets of the forest. Treetops’ story took an enchanting turn in 1952 when destiny beckoned. Princess Elizabeth, on the cusp of her historic ascension to the British Throne, chose Treetops as her retreat. Little did she know that her stay would forever intertwine her name with this arboreal gem.

Today, Treetops Lodge stands as a testament to conservation, hospitality, and the enduring magic of Kenya. Its branches cradle memories—of whispered secrets, and dew-kissed mornings.

Book you stay and enjoy royal styled rooms, a delectable array of meals and undistracted views of the majestic Elephants, Buffalo and others as they gather at the watering hole.

Olerai House is one of Kenya’s best-kept secrets.

A charming and relaxing getaway on the shores of Lake Naivasha, where you can immerse yourself in luxury and comfort in a beautiful farmhouse on a private wildlife sanctuary, just two hours by road from Nairobi. Nature was left to take charge of this former cattle farm in 2001, and today, the farmhouse is shrouded in bougainvillea and the scent of wildflowers fills the warm air.

Wild animals graze beneath soaring acacias, while down by the lake fish eagles swoop in for a kill or cry their haunting call as hippos harrumph close by. It is one of those secret little gems where people in the know go for a romantic weekend, for a break with the family from the stresses of the city, or to iron out hours of travel fatigue.

Visit Olerai, pamper yourself and your loved ones, and feel yourself breathe deeper and slower as you reconnect with a simpler rhythm.

Nakuru is a city in the Rift Valley region of Kenya. It is the capital of Nakuru County, and is the third largest urban area in Kenya. Two kilometres south of the town of Nakuru is Lake Nakuru, one of the Rift Valley soda lakes, which forms part of the Lake Nakuru National Park. The park was declared a rhinoceros sanctuary in 1983, a Ramsar site in 1990, and as an Important Bird Area in 2009. The park is internationally known for its dense flamingo population. It is an important feeding site for great white pelicans that nest in nearby Lake Elmenteita. The park is home to over 450 species of birds and 56 mammal species, including Rothschild's giraffes.

Another point of interest includes Menengai Crater, a dormant volcano. Small fumaroles and steam vents can regularly be observed within the forested caldera from above. The second largest surviving volcanic crater in the world, it plunges 483 metres down from the rim, and the summit is accessible by walking or driving 8 kilometres to Nyahururu. The wood-covered crater ground is a nature reserve. Nakuru's closest tourist destinations are Lake Bogoria and Lake Baringo in Baringo County.

The Hyrax Hill prehistoric site, discovered by the Leakeys in 1926, is considered a major Neolithic and Iron Age site. The adjoining museum features finds from various nearby excavations.
