Tafaria: King of the Castles

The Tafaria Castle and Country Lodge is a marvel in its own right. Standing on The Deighton’s Downs ranch located at the apex of the Nyandarua and Laikipia counties, the 29-room facility boasts a restaurant terrace which has a killer view of the Aberdare Ranges on one side and the Laikipia Plains on another.

During my visit there, together with a group of young journalists from Nairobi, Joe, the friendly steward, joked that our breakfast table straddled two counties, with one half in Nyandarua and the other half in Laikipia.
