Treetops Lodge
Meilleur moment pour visiter
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.
Conseils budget
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.

À propos
Faits rapides: Une cabane en bois sur pilotis se dresse au-dessus de la clairière salée où les éléphants, les buffles et les rhinocéros se rassemblent au crépuscule. Lorsque la reine Élisabeth II y apprit en 1952 qu'elle était devenue souveraine, elle monta en princesse et redescendit en reine.
Points forts: La chambre 57 porte encore le nom de la reine Élisabeth, qui y passa la nuit qui changea sa vie à jamais. Depuis la terrasse d'observation à l'étage, vous voyez les animaux à portée de main pendant que vous dînez, et les gardes escortent les hôtes jusqu'à la cabane à la tombée de la nuit avec des torches.
Conseils d'initiés
- 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.
