Is there a better smell than the smell of woodsmoke? I mean, apart from the smell of dew on leaf? At Castle Forest Lodge, beset against the very thick southside of Mt Kenya, you will smell woodsmoke in the air, thick and sensual. The water heaters built with stone are fed by wood.
The castle itself is so enchanting when you see smoke from the chimney meandering up to the cold grey sky you will think it’s staged. Wild still, you will see horses grazing on the meadow. Years ago I saw elephants. Mostly, there is deep silence.
