Once upon a dream; 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
Tafaria Castle and Country Lodge

Tafaria is a 29 room lodge built on a hill overlooking the Aberdare Range, Laikipia
Plains and Mount Kenya, halfway between Nyeri and Nyahururu, Kenya. Completed in
2012 AD, this unique and exciting lodge has been conceived to excite two states 
of mind; that of adventure stimulated by the remote location within reach of rich
Kenyan wildlife 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 ideal for weddings and photo sessions.

The castle houses the Lord’s Room which is ideal for honeymooners or those looking
for extra luxury. It overlooks the castle’s four residential quarters; the Damsels’
Quarters are optimally sized, the Knights’ Quarters are perfect if you would like
that extra space or the Vikings’ Quarters if you fancy being tented. If you have
a family or prefer even more space, the Lost Knights’ Quarters or the Old House 
which is a three-bedroom cottage will provide you with that spacious accommodation.

The Bailey restaurant is open throughout the day till 11pm to both the lodge residents
and non-residents. Guests can either dine in the inner or the outer section of the
Bailey. The Moat Bar is where you enjoy your refreshments as you lookout to the 
Aberdare Ranges. Enjoy your favourite drink ranging from cocktails to age-old wine
as you listen to your favourite music.

The Tafaria Castle is within 30 minutes reach of rich African wildlife in the Aberdare
ranges and the Laikipia Plains. We can organize game drives into the Aberdares or
the conservancies within the Laikipia Plains.
