“Explore our parks with ease at: Nairobi National Park, Aberdare National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park. Affordable, convenient, and perfect for family adventures this holiday season,” it added.
This comes a day after the government announced that it will reinforce surveillance on major transport corridors, in a bid to curb traffic accidents, which spike during the festive season.
