Day 1: Nairobi - Tree Hotel

The drive passes the small industrial town of Thika surrounded by extensive pineapple plantations. After crossing the Tana River , source of much of Kenya 's hydro power, the landscape changes and becomes more lush as you climb into the rich farmlands of the Kikuyu people. Lunch is taken at the Outspan Hotel in Nyeri, in the case of visitors to Treetops and Mountain Lodge and at the Aberdare Country Club in the case Tree Hotelofthe Ark. In the afternoon proceed to your Tree hotel where the night is spent and where a procession of forest animals visits the floodlit waterholes and saltlicks. Elephant, rhino, buffalo, giant forest hog and many other species are commonly seen.

Day 2: Tree Hotel - Nairobi

In the morning descend to your hotel before returning to Nairobi in time for lunch.
