Not All Of Us Can Go To Mombasa For December Holidays

The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Nairobi to Mombasa is fully-booked for the 22nd to 24th of December, 2022. At the same time, Jambojet, a common airline that flies to the Kenyan coast is also fully booked with the price of a one-way ticket doubling.

Kenyans are always serious about the December holidays. It is always that time when those from the Western part of Kenya (like me) move to the village with virtually everything including mattresses and carpets to celebrate and “eat Christmas.”

Those who happen to eat life with a big spoon are the ones who have booked trains and air tickets to the coast. Most of the hotels are fully booked. On that day, when everyone would have “gone home” to eat Christmas, Nairobi will be left as a ghost city, so silent that one can hear his/her breath.

What many forget while planning for the December holidays is that Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya is always surprisingly charming, between boozy nights at the local clubs, and offers ideal ways to experience the sights, smells, and sounds of the vibrating city.

The city offers a search of the Big Five: like visiting The National Park, a tour of the Giraffe Centre, and David Sheldrick Elephant orphanage. Get to experience the Nairobi vibrate matatu culture, visit the National Museum and Art Galleries or enjoy local cuisines like ugali and nyama choma.

The secret about Nairobi is to look for a good secure, and reliable place with an excellent location in a quiet neighborhood nearby. Serviced Apartments along the Nairobi business area are ideal, secure, and great for one to spend a holiday. With good restaurants and a short drive, shopping malls, and entertainment.

If you want to enjoy your holiday in Nairobi as others leave, you ought to know that a well-serviced apartment offers variety in terms of rooms-two bedrooms, one bedroom, executive, or deluxe with the option for a family stay and fully serviced kitchens; everything becomes at your disposal with your only responsibility being enjoyment.
