Treetop’s hotel in Kenya is part of the Aberdare Safari Hotels group, which also manages The Outspan Hotel, also located in Nyeri.
Outspan serves as the base from which guests transfer to Treetop’s hotel, and offers a more traditional hotel setting with lush gardens, spacious rooms, conference facilities, and colonial-era charm.
Although not as embedded in nature as Treetops, Outspan offers a quieter retreat ideal for relaxation or as a stopover before venturing into the Aberdares.
Another affiliated property is The Ark Lodge in the Aberdare National Park, which is similarly perched near a waterhole and modeled after Noah’s Ark.
The Ark is another popular destination for game viewing and features four viewing decks and underground bunkers to see wildlife up close.
For travelers looking to experience both history and wildlife in one setting, Treetops Lodge and its sister properties Outspan and The Ark offer a uniquely Kenyan safari experience with historical significance, rich biodiversity, and personalized service.
