I recently spent my birthday at Tafaria Castle, and it was beyond magical — truly a dream come true! From the stunning views and serene atmosphere to the castle’s unique architecture, everything about this place was absolutely breathtaking. What made it even more special was the team. A big thank you to Laura, Josiah Mwanake, and Meshack for their outstanding service and warm hospitality. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt genuinely welcomed and celebrated. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape, a romantic getaway, or a unique celebration spot — Tafaria is worth every moment. Can’t wait to come back again!

The thematic hotel and art center is a testimony that dreams can turn to reality if one is willing to actualize them through hard work and giving to others. The accomodation and building encapsulated in the theme medieval era of king and queens translates the experience to the clients. In Tafaria, history comes to reality, the rich and intriguing past is captured and replayed in the present. The horses, outdoor games like archery , lawn tennis and basketball, swimming ensures you are fit and able to sharpen your skills. The art center, museums as well a botanical gardens is unique and adds to the enriching and unique experience that one enjoys in Tafaria. Blending nature, art, history into hospitality is a difficult thing to do, but executing it with precision is amazing. This is creativity at it's best. The meals...fresh and delicious. Giving back to the community and ensuring the community also able to benefit and learn through the Art program is uplifting and worth mentioning. The staffs are friendly and respectful. The rooms are clean and warm. The sight of Mt. Kenya and Abadare Ranges evoke patriotism and reminds one of the divinely given blessings inherent in Kenya. The overall experience is enriching, educative, inspiring, refreshing and challenging to those who had buried, are afraid to pursue or given up of their dreams.

Great, family-friendly hotel, perched high up in the hills with stunning views of the ranges.Food, staff and service was super, rooms were clean, comfortable & well appointed.There are loads of great activities on the property to keep all generations happy & occupied-miniature golf, archery, horse riding basket ball, medieval bowling, swimming, outdoor gym, a walk to the Tafaria Farm and herbarium, amphitheatre where movies are screened every evening and so much more.Our entire experience was elevated at every guest touch point-from the booking, arrival and checking into our rooms, food & beverage experience at the restaurant, the 4 o clock tea, expansive & beautiful property with such wonderful, attentive staff.You made mums pre-birthday special for her and for us all.Well done team Tafaria, we will be back.I would highly recommend Tafaria castle to anyone looking for a holiday with older parents (70 years plus) children, teens, young adults et al.There is something to do to keep all generations happy and engaged.

Enjoyed the weekend away with the family. The place is nice, with well manicured lawns and plenty of outdoor activities at a very fair price. The food was amazing and a special shoutout to Josiah who went out of his way to make sure we were served well at the restaurant. Another thing that works in its favor is its close proximity (about 2 hours away) from three national parks and reserves - namely Mt. Kenya National Park,Abadare National Park and Ol Pajeta Conservancy. Would recommend it for anyone looking to avoid traditional beach holidays at the coast.
