Nakuru: Kenya's cleanest city.
In the heart of beautiful Rift Valley lies Nakuru town. I spend my Jahmuriday in this city. I realised that, unlike other Kenyan towns and cities, it is the cleanest town in Kenya. No hawkers jamming and shouting in streets.
The pavements are so clean. No dust. No pot holes which have tainted the images of cities like Nairobi. It has a well planned infrastucture. At nite, the city comes to life. Well lit streets, you can move without the fear of being mugged or encountering any thug. Unlike Nairobi, the town is so marvelous with its beautiful restaurants. Furthermore, do you know that the two leading Kenya's supermarkets originated from this town? Nakumatt and Tusker mattresses. There is another fast growing supermarket chain from this beautiful town which has started entering Nairobi city. It is Stagematt supermarket.
Away from the town centre are Nakuru national park, and the world's famous lake Nakuru with its flamingoes (ooh! May they do something to save this lake from extinction!).
To reduce the traffic congestion, a dual carriage way is under construction from Lanet to town centre. They should elevate this town to a ful city. It has the right facilities to become one.
Go and spend your christams holidays in this city. Its fabulous.

@Bomseh: That's my home town too! Or at least close... Just did a post about my trip there as well! I said a few bad stuff.
Nice post Pekiro, and I just love this town. How was it and where did you party?
I have great memories of Nakuru - the pink blanket of flamingos at the Lake, the hippos and the "Langa-Langa". Do jackarandas still growing on the road to town from Lanet?
@bomseh: Its a very nice town, n deserve a city status, with its splendid view 4rm the top of the crater. Its ma third home after ma diggs in shaggs and Nai. It has no too many bad stuff!
@stiffyz: Of i partied @club dimples the whole nite. Its waz fine.
@uaridi: Flamingoes makes it very beuatiful
@uaridi: Those jacarandas on the 8 km stretch from Lanet is are still there and very splendid, esp when they are in bloom. Coincidentally, that is where the dual carriage way is under construction, and they are cutting some of the branches off, I just hope they don't touch those beautiful trees.
The jacarandas will give make the highway very beautiful, it juz seperate to two roads in a classic n beautiful way...u cant juz make a short cut of changing the roads like we c what Nairobi matatus does.
Ata Peks!!!
Lakini I hand it to you that place is sweet...The kind of beauty thats yummy....Stagematt eh?? Acha tuone..
Naks is a good place.
Am heading there 2 check out Taidy's n some new place that i hear rocks!
Nakuru is my shagz...i love the place.
Nice blog peks.
I also love Nakuru as it is a clean and safe place. I am however disturbed by the rate at which the lake is drying out.I was there this morning and saw fewer flamingos.Also worth noting is the no of carcasses i saw. Something is terribly wrong and there is need for urgent action to save the lake. Whoever said there are hawkers in Nakuru town is dead wrong..all in all a lovely place!
