Castle Forest Lodge

This lodge is located deep in the thick forest on the slopes to the south of Mount Kenya. It is set in a natural surrounding of rainforest, fresh water rivers with falls on either side of the lodge, a fabulous view of the valley on the one, and the impressive peaks of Mount Kenya on the other side. The main house was built in 1910 of river stones and wood. It is being said that both Queen Elizabeth and President Jomo Kenyatta visited Castle Forest Lodge when they were students. A charming old building with a cosy dining room, bar and veranda overlook the animal drinking pool and the valley below. Recently the lodge has been renovated to accommodate slightly over thirty guests. The main house contains three double rooms, restaurant, bar, reception and a veranda surrounding it. On the three and a half hectares you will find a bungalow outfitted for four persons and eight cottages furnished for two, each of them appointed with a fireplace and bathroom.
