Tafaria Castle and Country Lodge endeavours to be every guest’s dream come true. It was founded by George Tafaria in 2012 as a way to transform his rural community where he grew up and to provide alternative accommodation in Nyahururu and near Nyeri.
The castle is built in rural Kenya on a hill, next to the scenic Aberdare ranges overlooking the Laikipia plains and Mt Kenya. It is only a 3-hour drive from Nairobi and about an hour from either Nyeri or Nyahururu towns. Tafaria Castle was built to start two different paradigm shifts; adventure, brought about by the castle’s unique location overlooking Mount Kenya, and imagination, elicited by the medieval style of the castle and its surrounding buildings.
These are the two viewpoints that are the foundation of the Castle. It provides for those visitors looking for a unique, picturesque getaway and is a perfect place to go for anything; from weddings to business meetings.
Just below the Castle, which has 50 rooms in total, is the Lord’s court which has 7 rooms. The Lord’s room and Court overlooks the Castle’s four residential quarters: The Damsels’ Quarters are optimally sized, the Knights’ Quarters at the Castle are perfect if you would like that extra space and the Vikings’ Quarters if you fancy being tented.
These rooms are ideal for couples as it is one of the most romantic destinations in Kenya, and is also perfect for those looking to rekindle the flame in a luxurious setting.
