Why is this event bigger than before?
The Koroga Festival has partnered with Naivasha Love Festival- an event solely managed by Nakuru County Tourism Association, Naivasha Branch, which is made up of stakeholders in the tourism sector.
A section of the stakeholders includes hotels, tour operators, tourism professionals and local businesses doubling up as passionate custodians of our national parks and natural resources, particularly within the geographical area.
The main aim of the festival is to attract both local and international tourists into the destination, promote the preservation of culture and sensitize the community on the
Importance of our Natural habitats.
“We also want to give an opportunity for adventure and sports tourism as well as market the floriculture and eco-tourism in Naivasha town,” Naivasha Love Festival chairperson Peter Kimani said.
