Description

A HISTORICAL ROYAL RETREAT
     
The main house was built in 1910 with river stones and wood from the surrounding forest and rivers. It is told that both Queen Elizabeth and President Jomo Kenyatta visited Castle Forest Lodge when they were students.

In 2000, Castle Forest Lodge was renovated to accommodate slightly over thirty guests.

When looking for a weekend break, Castle Forest Lodge is ideally located at a just 3 hour drive from Nairobi off the Kutus-Kianyaga road.
      
MAINTAINING ECO-"LODGE"-ICAL RESPONSIBILITY
     
Castle Forest Lodge as an eco-tourism facility recognizes its responsibility towards maintaining the fragile ecological balance of its unique natural environment by actively seeking new opportunities to reduce consumption of energy, water and other natural resources.

Whilst the entire power consumed at the lodge is generated by solar- and micro-hydro systems, we also make great effort to re-use or recycle materials and responsibly dispose of non-recyclable items where possible. 
      
COMMITED TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
     
In order to forward the benefits of the lodge’s operations to the direct neighborhood, it is a core mission of Castle Forest Lodge to secure both human resources and main supplies from the adjacent communities.

Through the close and continuous cooperation with these communities in terms of quality assurance and training on the job the lodge adheres to an ethical business concept contributing to the sustainable development of the entire region.
