Whenever I'm free, that of course is on weekends, there are a few things I like to do {not particularly in this order} :-
1. Stroll in town or different neighborhoods
2.Visit an awesome local restaurant
3. Go swimming
4. Take photographs
5. Climb to a high point and basically enjoy the view
I've been in Nakuru for little over 3 weeks now, but due to work and weekends that end so fast, the next thing you know Monday is in my face! Asking, "did you miss me?" Ha!... I digress, my point here is, I don't really get a good chance to explore this lovely small town the way I wish to.
Last Sunday, as soon as the usual afternoon showers subsided, I went out for an evening walk. As I was out and about I decided to pay "Top Cliff Lodge" a visit. The lodge is set on top of a hill, thus the name I suppose and is along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway. I should mention, it's actually a place I pass by everyday as I head to work, therefore I've always been curious to know how it's like. I didn't know what to expect, so it was all pretty exciting for me as I walked towards the lodge
I can honestly and without a doubt say that Top Cliff Lodge is my first and best destination so far in Nakuru. At the lodge, I found my happy place, so much so, I want it to be my signature hangout. What I love most about this place is the view of Lake Nakuru from it's restaurant's deck, simply amazing! As much as these pictures I took do the place little justice, I'll let them do some talking :-)
Yay! We're here!
The pool area is still under construction

Bar area... It didn't have the best lighting and I have a pretty mediocre camera so I didn't take any more pictures
Enjoying THE view and a cup of coffee
Looks gorgeous even at night... Took the last two shots in the rain.
I don't know if you'll ever visit this place, but if you do, I assure you, you will not be disappointed by the tranquility and great customer service you will receive, also, if you're coming off a whirlwind tour of Nakuru, Top Cliff Lodge is a perfect place to catch your breath.
You notice I've added a "Travel" tab to the blog. I would love to share with you more of my little adventures whenever I come across nice places and things to do in future. I am also saving up for a DSLR camera, it wouldn't hurt to have clearer images on this corner of the internet.
Before I end my post, It's important that I mention, with this post, I have joined the Travelstart Blogger Experience Competition. I only recently got to know about it and thought it would be great if I joined in seeing as I really enjoyed my short stay at Top Cliff Lodge.

DeleteI like the simplicity of your outfit. ♥ You look gorgeous in your clothes anyway. :) I also liked the pictures here. It makes me want to travel more or at least chill with my friends outside. I need to go outside as much as possible anyway because I'm like Rapunzel for 4 years: I wasn't able to travel that much because of my (ex) boyfriend. ;/
