MAGICAL MURANG'A: DEEP VALLEY LODGE

Did you know that in 1902, a group of Consolata Fathers were headed to Ethiopia for evangelization but instead found a home in Tutho, Murang’a? Hosted by the legendary Paramount Chief Karuri wa Gakure, this marked the first inland Catholic mission in Kenya.

Why did they choose Murang’a? The answer lies in the region’s breathtaking beauty. Nestled just below the Aberdares Ranges, upper Murang’a is a sanctuary of pristine nature. Its alpine-like climate, unspoiled rivers, and postcard-worthy landscapes offer a worthy escape into the wonders of creation.
