Hey you🤩. Thank you for coming back, and if you are new here, welcome to our budget family❤️.
In 1938, an excited Lord Maurice Egerton invited his long time crush to see the beautiful two bedroom house he had built for them to live and love in as a married couple💏. The long time crush, a royal princess, told him no. There is no way she would live in a house the size of the kennel in her father’s house.
Determined to win her heart, Lord Maurice decided to build her the castle she desired. After sixteen* years of building and perfection he invited her back to see the magnificent castle specially built for her🏰. Again, she rejected the proposal saying she couldn’t live in a house the size of her father’s horse stable. This heartbreaking event caused Lord Maurice to develop a deep hate towards women😠. The hate was so deep he didn’t allow any female servants in his castle. He even instructed that no woman should teach or study at the Egerton University after it started operating. Severe chest pains!
Sixty six years later the castle still stands as magnificent as it did when he first built it for the love of his life. Today I present to you the magnificent Lord Egerton Castle.
Location
The Lord Egerton Castle is located in Nakuru county, a 50/- matatu ride from Nakuru CBD. If you are using public transport, board a matatu heading to Ngata at Nakuru Odeon stage and alight at Ngata gate. Once you alight you can walk to the castle grounds or take a boda boda for 50/-.
If you stay at the Pilgrim’s getaway, as we did, the Lord Egerton Castle will be an eight minutes walk from your stay
Entry fees
The entry fee to the castle, for Kenyan citizens, is Ksh 150/- for adults and 75/- for children in Primary school. Below is a comprehensive entry fee list for Kenyan citizens, residents and non-residents.
Right from the gate, the compound is really beautiful. There also are reminders to keep the castle clean and to respect the flowers and tress.
Let us now explore the beautiful castle 👯.
Because I need to save some aspects of the castle for your viewing when you actually visit, I will end the tour of the castle’s interior at that😎. However, here are some views from the roof top🤩
The well manicured castle grounds are ideal for picnics, simple games and team building activities. When you go, remember to carry your maaasai shuka, some snacks and a ball or two💃. The castle also has some benches and swings installed for you to sit and relax on as you take in the view.
Considering that there is so much more to see and enjoy, are you now looking forward to visiting the Lord Egerton Castle? I hope you are! Personally, I must go back to enjoy a picnic and afternoon nap on the well maintained compound😝.
As per the usual, see you in two weeks as we stay in a budget accomodation in beautiful Malindi 🤗. Thank you for reading 💃 and see you soon ❤️❤️.
Wait! Before you leave, here is a video beautifully done by my bestie and travel buddy for the Nakuru trip👯. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/AFH6NpZPVhA
