Highlights

The sheer number of wild animals and birds that visit the lodge's waterhole. Watch them from the photographic hides overlooking the water to grab that perfect shot.


Trotting and galloping from the lodge to Prince Charles Campsite and Jungle Bar Tea/Coffee. There's gorgeous scenery and plenty of wild creatures to admire on this seven-kilometre journey. (Prior booking required.)


Exploring the Aberdare NP on a guided game drive (with a picnic lunch) to search for rare species like bongo antelope and giant forest hogs.

The property

This stilted structure has at its heart an ancient tree that grows up through the centre of the hotel, with a rustic atmosphere that's enhanced with timber turrets, winding staircases, and log-cabin interior. The guest lounge has a small library, and there's a cosy bar and a stylish restaurant. On top of the hotel, a covered viewing deck allows you to feel master of all you survey, from waterhole to wilderness. Two photographic hides are set along the waterhole’s edge.

The rooms

The rooms have a charmingly rustic log-cabin feel, with comfortable twin or double beds, earthy natural colours, and a nostalgic colonial style. (You may find them a bit dark if you're used to beach-style bright accommodation.) All have en-suite bathrooms. There are three spacious suites with a snug lounge, and a deep bathtub as well as a shower. All rooms face the waterhole – a buzzer alerts you when wildlife is present, so you needn't be constantly on guard.

One more thing...

A striking lodge with fantastic views of the waterhole – a magnet for wildlife, particularly elephants. The rooms are small but clean and perfectly comfortable.

Activities

Game Drives

Morning and late afternoon game drives in Aberdare NP offer the chance to see black rhino, leopard, elephant and buffalo, plus rarities such as the bongo antelope and giant forest hog. Take a picnic and spend the day on a guided drive of the highlands, renowned for their stunning waterfalls, clear mountain streams and pristine forests. Explore on horseback (if available) or take a guided game drive in nearby Solio Game Reserve, a sanctuary for black and white rhino.
