Tree Top Lodge- Top Mountain Lodge Aberdare National Park Kenya
A morning mist floats quietly by. We're on the roof top of the most famous tree house in the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the tree tops.
There's forever something new to peruse and detect in its dynasty of history. Like, half a centenary individually, something have to have stood on an icy chilly morning like this one, looking over the brow of the mountainous range. There was tiny to be seen because of the mist, I peruse in one of the paperbacks on the history of this world famous place.
In the jotted hand of Sherbrooke Walker who built he tree house in October 1952, he enters “it rained all night long”. Visibility was needy and the party which he escorted didn’t see much. But variant party in 1952 spends 6 days in the tree house and writes “Six days and nights in the tree makes it seem much closer to heaven than earth. It is with apologize that we have to go below “. Its author is Almond al Millet from Hollywood. Could this person have been in the same party as the legendary Walt Disney who too visited Treetops in 1952? I surprise.
Dinner is served and intervened by a party of elephants. For some, it’s the excitement of having the worlds largest land mammals in address.
The night passes. God’s potent mountain is well shrouded. Daniel Musau who has worked for the establishment as near to two decades and saluted prince Edward and his wife by treetops tells us that while the mountain is hidden, it manner the gods are having a closed door conference. For the 2 days that were in its shadows,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],Kenyas towering massif remains secluded in the mists.
In the spotlight below,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a newborn elephant is engaged trying to move something off its trunks as the mommy stays close goodbye. The silent is busy with the resident animals entire scrambling for a beverage at the water aperture, one taking a midnight muddy bath in the superficial waters. Their antics are well- known amongst the staff.” If you see at the buffaloes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you’ll penetrate that many are lacking a tail. Its because of these hyenas,” says Daniel
The black rhino and her calf hike the exact route to the waterhole,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], drink ,stay for a while and then perish into the darkness. Meanwhile, the rhino ranger has taken his digital pictures which he shows me on his mighty camera. The data will be entered into the national rhino database. The nice newspaper is that the Aberdare rhino population is increasing. There is an estimated 65 in the 776 square kilometers park.
Treetops has had its share of screenplay. The aboriginal tree house, constructed in 1932,was burnt down during at the Mau Mau emancipation fighters in 1954. It was from this tree house that a princess ascended down for the queen of the British Empire – Queen Elizabeth.
Undeterred Sherbrooke Walker went on to built a new one in 1957.
THE Queen returned in 1983 and spent the night in the Queen Elizabeth apartment, one of the two ego involved suites facing the waterhole with its private balcony
Things have changed over time. In the 1950s,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he animal migration paths were still intact between Mt Kenya and the Aberdares . Elephants and other mega- herbivores favor rhinos and buffaloes have emulated the grass routes for centuries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], granting the grasses to regenerate. Today, the Aberdare national park is farmed up to the fence line. In the hotel hall , a poster catches my eye. Its from the Rhino Ark in partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service, the custodians of the country’s wildlife heritage.
To depress the clash between the animals and peasants, the wildlife partners came up with the idea of fence. So far 265 kilometers have been completed with 85 to go. The causes given for the fencing are that it ambition conserve the water catchment as the aberdares are an of the 5 water fortresses of Kenya; it will conserve its indigenous forest and the rhinos and additional wildlife; it ambition bring peoples in harmony with the habitat and wildlife. Anyone wishing to advocate the project can donate US$20 which will take care of one measure of fence alternatively US$100 which will establish 5 meters of fence.
After a late breakfast in the company of the buffaloes at the Treetops, we leave for the outspan which is the found motel for Treetops . Built in 1928 by Sherbrooke Walker and his wife Lady Bettie, it has kept its fascination of the past. By the Kirinyaga hostel , we encounter with a famous contributor of the tavern- the resident peacock.
“Now that you have your cameras out, he will come to the front and pose for you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],”Paul Nguyo, the bargains administrative of the hotel comments. For sure,it presently comes to the pub and in a flurry of feathers opens it tail like a fan,undeterred by us.
Not a grain of truth the Outspan is the Agikuyu Peace Museum. It’s a small salon, quite nondescript from the appearance. But inside
