We loved our treehouse at Kitu Kiblu. The treehouse has just been amazing and such a nice experience. We loved to stay private in the house but also gathering together with others during lunch and dinner. The staff was super nice, the bill was a bit messy in the end but that was not an issue. We would love to come back!
