Twende Nanyuki Event Excites The Mountain Side Town After Covid 19 Slowdown
Updated on: Sep 23, 2020
Inspired by the newly revamped metre-gauge railway, Nanyuki is going full throttle to return its tourism and hospitality industry back on track after a nine-month slow-down as a result of Covid-19 pandemic.
The county government has teamed up with industry stakeholders and private sector in a campaign dubbed Twende Nanyuki-Mwisho wa Reli aimed at bringing visitors to relax and unwind in the mountain side town from Saturday September 26th -27th 2020.
The adventure involves a two-day trip in the revamped railway. The train will pick all passengers from Nairobi at 8:00 AM on 26th September. The tourists can also choose to self-drive or take a flight.
The train will arrive in Nanyuki at 1:00 pm. Hotel vans will pick visitors from the Railway Station.
Tourists will be taken round Nanyuki town and later to Mt Kenya for viewing and photography /Ol Pejeta game drive. Later they will be taken to various ho-tels for accommodation and entertainment.
On 27th , they will leave their respective hotels after breakfast and driven to other attraction sites i.e equator marker, Oljogi conservancy, Ngare Ndare forest and converge at the railway at 12:00 pm for a return trip to Nairobi.
Nanyuki is also celebrating 100 years of existence.
The town serves as a gateway to the Laikipia plateau, one of Africa's most important wildlife conser-vation areas. Despite being a market town, it is probably the most cosmopolitan city in the area outside of Nairobi, with its share of international tourists.
It has a rich heritage and cultural basis that still remains unexploited.
Nanyuki is rich in game and nature reserves, it is a resort town that lies along the Equator at the center of Kenya and has breathtaking landscapes with spectacular view of The Great Mount Kenya. This will be a great adventure not
only for those travelling by rail but also those who will prefer a road trip.
