Famed for the moment in 1952 when Princess Elizabeth was a guest when she acceded to the British throne, becoming Queen Elizabeth II, this legendary lodge in Aderdare National Park offers more than history.

Built aloft on stilts, it presides over a natural watering hole and salt lick, creating a spectacular, easy-to-access wildlife viewing experience. Guests can comfortably watch a parade of animals, including elephants, buffalos, and rhinos, passing directly below their rooms and the viewing decks. A commitment to exceptional hospitality and providing unforgettable experiences has long defined this highly rated lodge. Nestled amid scenic beauty and close to fascinating local attractions, the lodge offers ways to simplify sightseeing with an in-house guide on hand to help assist guests in their discovery of the beautiful places surrounding the lodge. There are historical lectures, photography safaris and evening entertainment besides exhilarating game drives with expert trackers to witness majestic wildlife up close. The lodge itself has verandahs and large sitting areas overlooking the stunning views of the wilderness, where wildlife roam around the waterhole and surrounding area. There is also a lounge with a fireplace where guests can relax and share stories about their safari experiences. For those seeking adventure, the lodge runs thrilling treasure hunts perfect for groups, alongside tranquil, escorted nature walks across stunning local trails.

The lodge masterfully blends traditional African architecture with contemporary comfort, offering 36 spacious and welcoming en-suite rooms. Guests have a range of choices, including the unique Queen Elizabeth Room, 33 standard rooms, or one of three exclusive suites. The suites and standard rooms share a captivating view overlooking the waterhole and salt lick. The standard rooms have twin beds that can easily be converted into a king-sized double bed.
