CASTLE VENUES IN KENYA

Old and New, take your pick

Kenya is famous for its wilderness and game sanctuaries. Yet if you wish, you can be a King, Queen, Prince, Princess for a couple of nights, even in Kenya. Grogan Castle was built in 1930 by Col Ewart Scott Grogan. An English explorer, politician and entrepreneur with a difficult love-story but thankfully, a happy ending. This castle splurges mystery at every step, a paradise hidden from the rest of the world with enchanting vistas of Mount Kilimanjaro, Pare Mountains, Lake Jipe and the Great Tsavo National Park. Murder Mystery or a Game of Thrones anyone?

Food is usually ‘Nyama Choma’ on a grand scale (nyama choma is the Kenyan version of an Argentine asado or a South African braai – just way more delicious). Chefs in tall white hats prepare all manner of grilled food to order accompanied by bowls of salads, chunks of cheese and freshly baked bread, which are all on their tables.  A campfire and Masaai dancing enhances the ambience. You might want to add extra colour by donning on the traditional Masaai outfits complete with the beadwork.  And there’s more… we will define your own experience based on the customer and budget.
