Dizzying guilty pleasures at Chaka Ranch

It feels quite illicit and irresponsible to visit Chaka Ranch without your children. If you have children, that is. “It’s like eating first before your children eat,” I told My Lady recently as we sat in the upstairs pub overlooking a green field below with what looked like a mini golf course and archery range. It had rained at Chaka Ranch in Kiganjo, Nyeri.

The pub was small and the drinks were stored away in what looked like a Wall-Unit. (If you know what that is you are old). This is because initially this building was the owner’s house before a business idea sprung up one day as he enjoyed whisky with his mates. So he turned it into the lounge, reception, restaurant and bar upstairs. He built himself what he calls a “a tent” but which is a luxury tent.
