This is Easter week and many are gearing up for the long weekend.
According to the Christian traditions, the celebrations begin on the Good Friday when Jesus Christ was crucified and extends two days into Sunday during Christ's resurrection culminating into Easter Monday.
If you intend to visit Nakuru County with your family probably after doing some one , two, three charity work, then there are a few areas which you could probably tour to unwind from the daily hustles of life.
1.Lake Nakuru National Park
Situated only four kilometres from Nakuru town, Lake Nakuru National Park is sure to provide you with a breathtaking scenery, teeming with beautiful flora and fauna. Here, you will be able to see the famous flamingoes, lions, gazzelles, warthog, buffaloes not to mention a wide variety of bird species whose melodious ululations will bless your soul.
2.Lake Naivasha
Situated outside Naivasha town, Lake Naivasha is sure to leave you longing for a comeback. From its beautiful scenery to bustling water currents, Lake Naivasha is a sure must-stop visit for the Easter. Just like its cousin Lake Nakuru, LakeNaivasha is equally blessed with an astounding flora and fauna. And ooh, its fresh water features will guarantee you a sumptuous meal of fresh fish at an embarrassingly cheap cost.
3. Subukia Shrine
Commonly known as the Village of Mary the mother of Jesus, this site is highly recommended for those who seek some solemn moments with Christ. This historic site is commonly used by the Catholic faithful for pilgrimage. There is a hill that characterises the holy journey and it has some 14 stations known as 'The Way of the Cross', where you will have to stop and recite prayers. Remember to carry a container to draw cool waters oozing from the hill which is believed to have some healing abilities.
Now you are in the know. Happy Easter!
