A
Mgumbi tree is an
ancient Kenyan tree that holds the historically significant
Treetop Hotel, located somewhere in
Kenya. The hotel is actually about
ten feet off of the ground, making it one of the most
unique accomodations in
Africa. It offers some interesting features such as a
watering hole known to be a late night spot for dozens of different species of African
wildlife, which is located right beside the structure. Such prominant
figures as queens, politicans, and actors/actresses, have stayed in the Treetop Hotel, which is another reason for its
historical interest and popularity.
Oddly, I couldn't find any
information about the ancient tree or the hotel on the net. I learned of its existance in a
Travel & Tourism class.. it seems infinitely
intriguing. If anyone else knows anything, any details, please, by all means, let them be known. I don't even know if it is still there, but I'd sure
like to.
I'm quite sure that I've got the spelling of Mgumbi
correct, but if I don't, it's only because it's been a while since I've seen it in
print. :)
