  6. Tree Tops is a game reserve in Nyeri, Kenya, where I lived for two decades and more. It is a famous tourist resort and there arearchival pictures of the Queen's ascension (literally) whilst she was holidaying there.

    Very smart clue but I wonder where Manna got this info from unless he has lived in that part of the world.!!
