Treetops Lodge
Beste tijd om te bezoeken
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.
Aanbevolen voor

Over
Korte feiten: Een houten hut op palen verheft zich boven de zoutlikplaats, waar bij het vallen van de avond olifanten, buffels en neushoorns samenkomen. Toen koningin Elizabeth II hier in 1952 ontdekte dat zij vorstin was geworden, ging ze naar boven als prinses en daalde ze als koningin weer naar beneden.
Hoogtepunten: Kamer 57 draagt nog altijd de naam van koningin Elizabeth, die hier de nacht doorbracht die haar leven voor altijd veranderde. Vanaf het observatiedek op de bovenverdieping zie je de dieren binnen handbereik terwijl je dineert, en gasten worden in het donker door bewakers met fakkels naar de hut begeleid.
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.
