NAIROBI, KENYA JULY 2014
Naivasha has officially taken the stand
where out-of-town partying is concerned; from her serenity, proximity
to the capital and its versatility as a destination-Nairobi may soon
be begging Naivasha Naivasha to break her spell!
Located in the Great Rift Valley of
Kenya is a place with a talent for combining many different elements
and aspects of nature with a remarkable expertise! Commenting on
Naivasha as a major tourist attraction, Lillian Gaitho the PR Manager
at JOVAGO , a leading online
hotel booking and travel site, acknowledges the unprecedented rise in
her popularity; you need to allocate more than a few days for a full
excursion of this legendary town. There is something for everyone;
from naturalists to geologists and romantics dreaming of fairytales
to film-makers chasing adventures worth prime time on Discovery
Channel”
This coming weekend, the town will be
hosting the Great Rift Valley Festival, and judging by history-the
host camp; Fisherman’s Camp might already be fully booked! Here are
some of the few stop overs you may need to make on your way, and
where to safely keep your travel kits while you party the-Naivasha
-Way!
- THE ITALIAN CHAPEL
This could make our very slice of the
Roman’s architectural finesse! The Catholic Chapel was built by
Italian prisoners as a sign of compassion for their hard labor during
the construction of the Naivasha-Nakuru road in the 1940s.
The little chapel
is a big attraction for wedding ceremonies and offers serenity and
peace to travelers without discrimination. Inside the church, there
are Latin inscriptions while a picture of baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph
surrounded by angels stand behind the altar. The nearby Triple
Eden Naivasha Hotel will make a good stay for group visitors who
may also want to reach out to their Religious Being.
- A BOAT TRIP ON LAKE OLOIDEN
Once your inner being syncs with the
environment, you may want to give back to the local conservationist
and nature protectors; a small community who live by the shores of
Lake Oloiden about six kilometers away from Naivasha town. There are
a number of hotels not too far from the lake such as Enashipai
Resort & Spa and Kiboko
Luxury Camp, Naivasha which offer great packages inclusive of a
visit to Lake Oloiden. The small, serene lake is a festival of
senses; from sites of hippo families, sounds of the giant fish eagle,
fresh pure breeze emanating from the lake and beautiful wildlife
gracefully grazing meters away.
It’s of great fulfillment to know
that the proceedings from the boat trips and related adventure
directly support the Oloiden community who live by the lake shore.
- AN EXPEDITION ON CRESCENT ISLAND
Crescent Island is considered one of
the most beautiful parks in Kenya with an unprecedented and
impressive number and variety of wildlife per acre.
The docking area accessible from Lake
Naivasha Country Club safely tucks you on a breathtaking cruise
to the Crescent Island. While here, enjoy panoramic views from the
hilltop; Lake Naivasha glitters right beneath you while Mt Longonot
stands fiercely in your eye path, further ahead are the Mau
Escarpments, one of the country’s water catchment block while the
Aberdares rise towards the skies as if in an embrace.
