Where to eat |
|
| |
There are plenty of places to eat and drink. The
Great North Road highway has many restaurants and hotels
that sell quick snacks, take away dishes to full course
meals. Major towns like Nakuru and Eldoret have hotels
that provide meals to travellers.
Dishes you will not miss on the menu include meat and
ugali (maize meal). you will also have an opportunity
to drink mursik – a traditional Kalenjin
drink of fermented milk mixed with charcoal (from the
wattle tree). Nyama choma joints are also common
and travellers can stop and enjoy roasted beef, mutton
or chicken. |
