The lodge is rustic and natural and is the only œtree lodgewith direct access¦no offset hotel acts as an assembly area. bird watching is especially popular and the naturalist conducts daily safari walks through the forest nearby. In this other worldly setting, the drama of nature plays out daily, beneath the rocky, glacier-covered peaks of nearby mount kenya. a specially constructed viewing bunker is connected to the lodge by a short tunnel and allows an incredibly close view of game as they come to drink or partake of the salty silt.
