Staying at Treetops is a unique experience - and I've now been twice. I'd go every weekend if it wasn't so far away. There is nowhere like it for getting up close and personal - with both wildlife and fellow guests!
The accommodation is literally built around trees and is almost completely made of wood. The tiny 2-bed rooms smell deliciously of cedarwood and there are tree trunks up through the lounges. The viewing facilities, both indoor and outside, are exceptional and there is a graded bell system for warning you of wildlife appearances during the night. They put food out for the birds which you can watch from a couple of feet away. Dinner - hot and delicious - is taken 'assembly' style with a neat sliding service rack in the centre of the tables and there was also afternoon tea. Delightful.
You can only take a small item of luggage and the rest is stored at Outspan from where you are bussed to Treetops. You return to Outspan for breakfast. There are no private facilities but for one night it doesn't matter.
* There are loads of steep stairs so this probably isn't at all suitable for the infirm or disabled.
