Planning my trip was very stress free and I had peace of mind.

Initially I had planned to travel out of Nairobi during my December break however I did not want to do the usual coastal trip  I needed something different out of the ordinary. I need to go somewhere serene where I could relax, meditate and regain my energy. 

Since It was towards the end of the year and work was crazy as usual. I needed someone to plan my trip. There is so much information on internet and magazines  and I needed someone who had vast information on travel destinations around Kenya. At first I did not think it was necessary to have someone plan my trip until reality hit me that time was running out a hotel bookings were quickly filling up.

I then decided to go to the Western part of Kenya and explore this land of beauty. Kakamega is so so beautiful. It's one of the untapped tourist destinations in Kenya. I visited the Rondo Retreat Center. Luyanzi Tours was able to arrange the trip on my behalf.

I am seriously considering this place for my honeymoon in the near future. Rondo Retreat is a hidden haven. See, you cannot just go there, you need to make reservations in advance. 

The ambiance here is magnificent with the old English look. The place is well maintained with wooden floors.  I got to see birds I have never seen before, the flora and fauna is striking and attractive to look at. I loved the Chapel within it gave me some time to go and meditate.

The food is also very affordable, my friend and I had lunch for Ksh.900 that was the Chef's special.

This is a place I will definitely be going back to.
