1. Treetops Hotel According to Daily Nation, Gachagua’s son, Keith, acquired the iconic Treetops Hotel, which reopened in 2022, charting a new era for the hospitality sector.
The Treetops Hotel, famed for witnessing Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne 72 years ago, is a significant relic of the Mau Mau movement in Nyeri. Keith explained that the establishment holds a significant part of Kenya’s history, including its liberation struggle, that has remained untold.
“For instance, very few people know that beneath the hotel lie underground tunnels constructed by the Mau Mau fighters for accessing the facility,” he expounded. Located roughly 10 kilometres from the hotel, within the Aberdare Forest, is a fig tree that served as a post office for the Mau Mau movement. Gachagua (Riggy G) said the decision to buy the historic hotel stemmed from a challenge he shared with the local business people.
