You will arrive in time for lunch, after lunch, you will be transferred to Treetops Lodge. 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. As the game comes to the lodge, no game drives or walking Safaris are needed. Dinner and overnight.

It is set in a picturesque landscape of surrounding woodland and grassland next to Nakuru town. It is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions of flamingos nesting along the shores. The surface of the shallow lake is often hardly recognizable due to the continually shifting mass of pink. The number of flamingoes on the lake varies with water and food conditions and the best vantage point is from Baboon Cliff.
