#NyeriHeritageTourism this county continues to waoh me every day.. AMEDEO TOMB
As the commander-in-chief of the Italian forces in the region, he became the most celebrated prisoner of war and that is why the Kilimambogo house is of immense historical importance.
Some of his soldiers were buried inside the Italian War Memorial Church in Nyeri, which is only used once in a year.
Located on Ihururu road about five kilometres from Nyeri Town, it housed some 676 Italian POWs.
At the front of the simple wooden pews and just about the altar is the marble-lined tomb of the Duke of Aosta — buried here together with soldiers he gallantly led.
Next month, the Italians will certainly be marking the 75 anniversary of the death of Prince Amedeo.
There could be a service in Nyeri but no pilgrimage to Kilimambogo or the Italian PoW sites.
I quote Simon Ngugi This, to me, is another heritage that is going to waste as a tourist attraction as we continue to chase the beach, savannah, wildlife MagicalKenya Nyeri Yetu Lé Pristine Hotel - Nyeri Nyeri, Kenya #HeritageTours #POWSitesKenya
Welcome to hells gate National park. Named for the intense geothermal activity within its boundaries, the Hell's Gate National Park is a remarkable quarter of the Great Rift Valley. Spectacular scenery including the towering cliffs, water-gouged gorges, stark rock towers, scrub clad volcanoes and belching plumes of geothermal steam make it one of the most atmospheric Parks in Africa. Hell’s Gate is an ideal venue for a day trip from Nairobi where, in addition to the bio-diversity that includes raptors, visitors can enjoy mountain biking, rock climbing and a natural spa. #magicalkenya
