Treetops Lodge
Bedste tid at besøge
Aim for the dry months from June to September, when the largest herds gather at the watering hole, and arrive ahead of time, since the animals mainly show themselves at dusk. The whole stage comes alive between five and seven in the evening and again at early dawn.
Budgettips
A full-day package with lodging, all meals, and entry fees runs to roughly five hundred dollars per person, so count it into a proper travel budget. Without an overnight stay, you can manage with a daily entry to the national park and a visit to the viewing terrace, where you can enjoy your coffee while watching the elephants from a safe distance.

Om
Hurtige fakta: En træhytte på pæle rejser sig over den salte sliksten, hvor elefanter, bøfler og næsehorn stimler sammen ved skumringstid. Da dronning Elizabeth II i 1952 her fandt ud af, at hun var blevet regent, gik hun op som prinsesse og kom ned som dronning.
Højdepunkter: Værelse 57 bærer den dag i dag navnet på dronning Elizabeth, som tilbragte en nat her, der ændrede hendes liv for altid. Fra udsigtsterrassen på førstesalen ser du dyrene på klos hold, mens du spiser, og gæsterne bliver ledsaget til hytten i mørke af vagter med fakler.
Insidertips
- Warm clothing is a must, since at an altitude of around two thousand meters the night temperature drops well below fifteen degrees.
- In the rooms, use only red night lighting, because white light would scare the animals at the watering hole and deprive you of the show.
- When the bell rings, a new herd has arrived at the watering hole, so rush out to the terrace right away, as the best moments last only a few minutes.
- You will take the sharpest photos from a hidden ground-level hideout at the animals' eye level, not from the upper deck.
