Range View Lodge: A Cleft Scenery

Range View Lodge, in the heart of the Aberdare Range overlooking a cleft scenery of ridges, farms, forests and river below, is perfectly suited for a country escape. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with crisp linens, a well-equipped kitchen, and a cozy fireplace for the cool evenings. The highlight, however, are the outdoor seating, where you can enjoy morning coffee while watching heartwarming views of the Aberdares and Mt. Kenya. The lack of technology only umps the experience, encouraging you to fully immerse yourselves in the serenity of the countryside.

One of the great things to engage in while at Ranges View Lodge is to explore the surrounding farms on foot and stumbled upon charming villages folk. You can also stop to learn about tea farming and try your hand at picking tea, which the locals do at a blistering pace. Tea picking is a morning ritual, which sets the pace and tone for the day ahead. The combination of the peaceful environment, engaging farm activities, and delicious farm-to-table meals made for a perfect rural retreat.

For those who love to cook, the farm also offers the opportunity to gather fresh ingredients and prepare your own meals in the lodge’s modestly equipped kitchen. Also, take full advantage of this, whipping up a delicious breakfast using eggs, herbs, and vegetables straight from the farm. After a filling brunch or lunch, you can set out on a long riverine walk, which is both rejuvenating and calming. A weekend, or longer, at Ranges View Lodge will leave you relaxed, recharged, and with a newfound appreciation for the simple pleasures of the slow country life.
