It is back to the Agikuyu cultural roots at River Gura

During the marking of this year's World Tourism Day, I found myself in Nyeri. Nyeri tourism stakeholders were marking the day by celebrating River Gura, and part of the activities were cultural performances and traditional activities.

The last time I visited, Nyeri I thought that a one-day schedule was more than enough for a road trip and a three-hour hike for the three-kilometre stretch of trekking along the Gura River. A day was enough for me to tick this bucket list out and be back in Nairobi in good time. This time around I took a more leisurely pace.
