Treetops Lodge
Najbolje vrijeme za posjet
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.
Savjeti za budžet
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.

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: A wooden hut on stilts rises above the salt lick, where elephants, buffalo, and rhinos drift in at dusk. When Queen Elizabeth II learned here in 1952 that she had become monarch, she went up as a princess and came down as a queen.
Istaknuto: Room 57 still bears the name of Queen Elizabeth, who spent the night here that changed her life forever. From the observation terrace upstairs you see the animals within arm's reach while you dine, and at night guards escort guests to the hut with torches.
Insajderski savjeti
- 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.
