grets Says: Robert Baden Powell, the founder of the Scout Movement, dies in Nyeri in Kenya on 8th January 1941 and is buried not far from the Outspand Hotel.
grets Says: I know it is early, and I know you will want your sleep, but it really is worth getting up for the sunrise!
grets Says: One of the main reasons for visiting Aberdare National Park, is of course the chance to see wild animals. This is a picture of a herd of buffalo which we saw at Treetops, coming to the waterhole to drink.
grets Says: If you are in Aberdare National Park, a visit to Treetops Hotel is a MUST. It really is quite a special experience, and one that you should not miss.

grets Says: There is nowhere else to go here obviously, you can't just wander off into the national park, so all food is included in the cost of the package.
Outspan Hotel: A convenient dining stop
grets Says: Outspan is the action of removing the yoke from the oxen at the end of the day.Outspan Hotel is most famous for being the home of Lord Baden Powel for the last three years of his life.
grets Says: There is not much to do in the evening at Treetops, apart from the obvious: wathcing the animals come to the floodlit waterhole.You are likely to want an early night though, especially if you are thinking of getting up to watch the sunrise the next day.
Treetops rooftop terrace: Nocturnal animals
grets Says: It's worth coming up on the rooftop terrace after dar, to see the many nocturnal animals which come here for the food which is put out for them.
Helga67 Says: You cannot enter the park with your own car/minivan. At the Aberdare Country Club special transportation will bring you to your lodge.
grets Says: It is the first - and last - time I have seen a table with a gliding "Lazy Susan" in the centre of the table for passing condiments and side dishes. Basically, a small strip of the centre of the table was converted to glide on runners. A great idea!
grets Says: In typical British style, afternoon tea is served on the rooftop terrace. A white tablecloth covers a table, and tea and biscuits are available while you gaze over the spectacle below. What more could you want?
grets Says: We saw some awful driving on our trips in Kenya, many of which resulted in accidents. Most safari companies have very courteous drivers, but that cannot be said for all unfortunately. If you are driving yourself, do take care.
grets Says: At night, flies and other insects ar attracted to the lights on the roof top terrace. Stay clear of the beam, otherwise you end up swallowing mouthfuls of the pesky things.I have never seen so many flies in one light beam at any one time, I just soucln't believe it! You can...
flyrubi Says: Take with you a warm sweater or jacket when visiting coz the weather gets abit cold from evening to early hours of the morning. Entrance to the park is allowed only to visitors with smart cards and not with paper tickets as used to be. The card need to be purchased be4...
Helga67 Says: On your way from Aberdare NP to Lake Nakuru you pass the Thomson's Falls. It's a 72m-high waterfall on the Ewaso Narok river. It's a nice stop but except for the waterfall and a couple of souvenir shops, there's not much to see.
grets Says: Baboons have a reputation for being agressive, and it is true that they may attack and kill smaller animals. We were told to stay well away from them on our way back to the vehicles.
grets Says: This cute little bush baby came to the rooftop terrace too, enjoying the food laid on for it. They have such incredibly large eyes that appear to glow red in the night.
grets Says:
grets Says: Large, heavy and aggressive, you do not want to mess with a buffalo! Going to sleep at night with a herd of buffalo grazing and chomping right outside our window, was quite mind-blowing.
