How It Works

Treehouse experiences are booked with your lodge accommodation at an additional cost. Your room remains ready for your return at any point. Safari vehicle transport at sunset takes you to your private setup. Gourmet picnics, lanterns, and secure communication ensure comfort and safety. Our team is available by radio throughout the night, with morning collection after sunrise and a hot coffee.

Watching Wildlife From Above

From your elevated deck, wildlife moves undisturbed below - antelope grazing quietly, birds flitting past at eye level, kudu browsing at nearby trees. As darkness falls, wild sounds carry through the cool air. You'll drift to sleep to Africa's night symphony - distant lion calls, hyena whoops, rustling leaves - a front-row seat to nature's rhythm.

The Night Sky

Millions of stars emerge across skies not usually visible from anywhere else. Constellations stretch to every horizon whilst shooting stars streak overhead. We'll help you load a stargazing app to identify planets and satellites crossing the darkness. Fall asleep beneath this glittering canopy in complete darkness, far from any city lights.

Your Private Table

Lantern and starlight illuminate your private deck dining. Gourmet tapas-style picnic baskets and chilled drinks await - everything you need for sundowners as the African sunset paints the horizon. Raise a glass to wilderness and savour dinner to the symphony of the bush below, stars emerging overhead.

I’ve never experienced anything like it. Spending the night out there, under the stars, surrounded by the sounds of the bush - it was surreal. Using just a flashlight, we spotted a mother hippo with her two babies right in front of us. Watching wildlife like that, so close and so raw, was unforgettable. Falling asleep to the sounds of the wild and waking up with the sunrise is something I’ll carry with me forever.

We spent a night in the Kingston tree house and that was such an amazing experience sleeping outside (there's a covered roof and mosquito net and it's safe) and having meals under the stars and listening to all the animals below us.

We spent one night at the Kingston Treehouse, which offered a beautiful, secluded space to watch the sunset - a magical experience we would highly recommend, especially for honeymooners.
