The Tafaria Castle & Country Lodge.

In the ancient land of Deighton Downs, at a time of great hardship, adventure, and loneliness, a young African found himself at the foothills of the Aberdare Ranges overlooking the Laikipia plains.

As he grew up there, enveloped in a harsh wilderness, unto him came an immortal dream.

That dream now stands as…

The Tafaria Castle & Country Lodge.

Accommodation :

The Castle, within which you find the Lords Room overlooks the castles four quarters: You can either stay in the Damsels Quarters which are optimally sized, the Knights Quarters if you would like that extra space or the Vikings Quarters if you fancy being tented.

Tafaria Castle is a 25 room lodge built on a hill overlooking the Aberdare Range, Laikipia Plains and Mount Kenya.

Completed in 2012 AD, Tafaria has been conceived to engender two states of mind – that of adventure stimulated by the remote location and medieval architectural style that runs from the castle to the similarly themed cottages, and relaxation facilitated by the high altitude, secluded spot and gentle, manicured grounds.

As you reside in one of the Castle’s Quarters, horse ride, bird watch, take nature walks, go for game drives, swim, fish, or simply conduct business leisurely.
