‘It’s 5 o’clock in the morning, conversation got boring you said your going to bed soon so i snuck off to your bedroom and i thought I’d just wait there until i heard you come up the stairs and i pretend i was sleeping and i was hoping.’ Actually its 5.40 am but i just felt like T.Pain yo’. It’s too early for my hair, and my head, and my body and my eyes are so puffy. But as you know a girl has got to do what she has too.

‘Ukanifanya chizi wa mapenzi, juu kila saa nakuwaza tu kishenzi, so ka nimekuudhi basi niwie radhi, but sura yako mzuri compliments your body, urembo wako wanifaa na busu lako lafanya niwe kichaa ,na kama nimekuudhi bas niwie radhi’. Have you guys heard this song by Papa Jones? I just discovered it and its winning. Am listening to this in my headphones as i try to get through this chilly morning. Am excited on this day of February 3rd, first because, the 94 days of Jan are done and over with,its the month of love,also its a birthday month to my little prince and two other amazing people in my life and last because it’s FEBRUARY, ha ha. I think i should call this month ‘my lucky month’, most amazing memories of my life happen on February.

I know your wondering why i started my day this early, and because am a cool like that, i will tell you why, its an another awesome beautiful Saturday morning to go for adventure with the best traveling agent in town,EASE MY SAFARI. To where to, you ask, we are headed to the TAFARIA CASTLE in Muiga, few kilometers away from Nyeri and Nyahururu Highway. I have been dying to go to this place since i discovered its existence & due to unavoidable circumstances i have found myself missing every trip to this wonderful place. Funny enough i almost missed this one too, not because i didn’t want to go but i had had one long week and all i wanted to do was lay in bed all day in my PJs’ and sleep. But as life has it, some people cannot function without me, so i was pushed and pushed until i couldn’t say no.

I don’t know if you guys noticed that it’s 5.40am and just so you know the arrival time was 5.40am, and am on time people, ;-). It’s probably not a biggie to some of you but to people that know me, know i deserve a trophy. Am a changed person people, it’s a new year or i might have become a travel junkie, i guess we will find out soon enough ha ha ha, but point is am early and all i do is catch worms nowadays.

Sleeping Beauty

To be honest this is not how i had planned this day ‘in my head’, this day was awesome, it was filled with laughter and happiness. I had even planned how i wanted my snaps taken. In this head of mine i saw myself telling someone ‘we kula wacha kuringa, ntakuficha watu wasikuone’ Am laughing as i write this because how does a normal person do this really? ha ha ha, wierd & crazy i know. Am a planner, i plan how i want things to be in my head before they happen. Unfortunately for me, this time what was in my head did not come to a reality, so i had to turn my lemons into lemonade.

If you start your day with God, you will never fail, we pray and voooooom we start our journey.

There is this awesome feeling someone gets when you watch the sun rise, it’s like a promise God makes of a bright day ahead or you get to see God’s wonders.

We stop over at Shell Petrol Station, Makuyu and take some breakfast and for coffee addicts like yours truly, it’s a relief. Coffee makes my day all day every day.

Some of us barely slept, (i don’t know if it’s just me but when am excited to do something, i don’t sleep at all), we get an opportunity to take a nap for some few minutes.

The journey is quiet long. Tafaria castle is approximately 36km from Nyeri town & when i see this sign, I am relived, because it’s been one long journey (but they say rough roads lead to the most beautiful destinations) and finally we are here, at least i get to do one thing in my bucket list, visit Tafaria.

Once upon a dream, at a time of great hardship, adventure & isolation, a young African found himself at the foothills of the Aberdare Ranges overlooking the Laikipia plains. As he grew up here, enveloped in a harsh wilderness, unto him came an immortal dream, the dream now stands as THE TAFARIA CASTLE.

Finally we were here!

This amazing beautiful place is ideal for relaxation, rejuvenation, meeting and special occasions like weddings & honeymoons. Personally, am searching for the best place to go for my honeymoon. Let’s explore this place and you guys can tell me what you think.

We are warmly welcomed with a glass of cold juice, we all needed that, i mean after that long tiring journey one can use a glass of cold juice.

I can not help but get lost in the beauty of this castle, i mean at some point i even contemplate on being left behind. Trust me i would not ask for anything more. I want to be the queen who lives with her King and maidservants & protected by the Vi-kings.

One beauty of traveling is networking and getting to know other people, so we get to know each other and introduce ourselves.

It was now time to have a tour around the castle.

I found a new bae 🙂 I know some of how you will say it’s the beauty & the beast but hey, love knows no boundaries.. Ha ha
See, he is lovable 🙂
Even when others are trying to ignore him,he is still my beast 😉
Hello, from this side.
We can’t help but take pics everywhere.
A Model in the making
Do you know this cup is called 15ni? I didn’t know also.

Look at this art, you would look at this all day long & not take your eyes of it.

‘Wakubwa, ati mlisema hii ni ile bed ukilala uote your dreams become a reality in the morning ama?’ LOL

Kids Play Area

The thing about Tafaria is that you can visit up to 10 times and stay in a different type of room. They have 72 rooms in various residential quarters. The Castle houses the Lord’s room which is ideal for honey-mooners or those looking for extra luxury.

It also has the Lord’s Court which has 7 rooms. The Lord‘s Room & Court overlooks the Castle‘s 4 residential quarters, perfect if you would like that extra space or the Vikings‘ Quarters if you fancy being tented.

If you have a family or prefer even more space, the Lost Knights‘ Quarters, the Old House which is a 3 bed-roomed cottage or the Damsels‘ Plus which are bigger rooms with connecting doors will provide you with that spacious accommodation.

After the castle tour, it was now time for lunch.

This ka-princess can play the piano like you have never heard before. I was awed..

Have you ever eaten so much you feel like you’re gonna die, but then keep eating? We had so much to eat that some of us could not take any longer. It was an ‘eat as much as you want’ kind of lunch.

Move, closer or i bite. Ha Ha. Ha. I do bite.
Look at this horse. Don’t you think it’s to big?Sorry to tell you that yours truly was not able to overcome her phobia. Ha ha ha pray for me.
Whoever said nothing is perfect, clearly had not visited TAFARIA CASTLE.
Let Ease My Safari Quench your adventures.
What is perfection without some good wine.
The archery. This became my favorite game for the day.I just learnt it that day and became pretty good at it.I should have this in my dream house. Ha ha ha
I could not help but laugh, i mean, when your winning your happy.(woman of all possibilities).

On this day we had a birthday girl in the house and because Ease My Safari is sugar, spice & everything nice there was a surprise awaiting her.

May her year be filled with nothing but laughter.

One thing i learnt about Tafaria is one can exhaust all the activities in this place. One can easily get overwhelmed.

After a long day of fun, one thrilling experience filled with magic, memorable and unforgettable memories it was time to head home as it was already getting late. Ever noticed when you’re having an amazing experience the day just ends so fast.

NKT, actually for me i would have loved to be left behind, but let me get my money right, i will have to come back soon. Every good thing comes to an end, but what does not come to an end is how after every travel i become more an adventurist and i want to conquer the world more.

Let’s conquer the world with Ease My Safari.

Looking forward to many more adventures.
