GROGAN’S CASTLE

BOUTIQUE HOTEL 

Welcome to Grogan’s Castle, a one-of-a-kind hilltop retreat overlooking the breathtaking landscapes of Tsavo West, Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Pare Mountains. Situated on the Kenyan-Tanzanian border in Taveta, this distinctive 1930s residence was built by the legendary British adventurer Ewart Grogan and is steeped in both history and natural beauty.

Though not a castle in the traditional sense, Grogan’s Castle offers a truly regal experience with elevated views, rich heritage, and a tranquil setting within the private Lake Jipe Conservancy. The property is just 20 minutes from the Lake Jipe Gate of Tsavo West National Park, a wildlife haven home to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species.

Guests can embark on unforgettable day trips to Lake Jipe and Lake Chala which are two hidden gems where you can hike, explore, and even swim in the clear waters of a volcanic crater lake. These excursions offer some of the region’s most unique and scenic experiences.

For history enthusiasts, Salaita Hill lies nearby which is the site of a pivotal World War I battle between British and German forces in 1914. The hill’s preserved trenches and fortifications are a poignant reminder of East Africa’s place in global history.

Whether you’re drawn by wildlife, adventure, or the echoes of the past, Grogan’s Castle welcomes you. 

Karibu sana!
