Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Car
If you are traveling by car, start your journey from Nyandarua Range. Head towards the town of Ol Kalou and take the Nyandarua South Road. Continue on this road for approximately 25 kilometers until you reach the junction with the Nakuru-Eldoret Road (A104). Turn left onto the A104 and drive for about 15 kilometers. You will see signs directing you to Lord Egerton Castle. Follow the signs to the PXGC+3R5 area in Nakuru. There is a small parking area available at the castle for visitors.
Public Transport
For those using public transportation, take a matatu (shared taxi) from Ol Kalou to Nakuru. The journey usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on traffic. Once you arrive in Nakuru, you will need to take another matatu heading towards the Egerton University area. Inform the conductor that you are going to Lord Egerton Castle. The fare for the matatu from Ol Kalou to Nakuru is approximately KSh 150-250, and from Nakuru to the castle area, it should be around KSh 50-100. Once you get off, follow the signs to the castle, which is a short walk away.
Taxi
If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi from either Ol Kalou or Nakuru. This option will be more expensive, typically ranging from KSh 1,500 to KSh 3,000 depending on your starting point. The driver should be familiar with Lord Egerton Castle, so just provide them with the PXGC+3R5 address in Nakuru.
