Ever wondered where to take your friends for a breather in Eldoret? Where to hangout with your family on weekends? Where to take a walk;have some alone time while enjoying nature? Well,I have the perfect place for you.
I visited poa place gardens over the weekend with my sister (Victoria)and of course considering that she was in Eldoret for visit, she was really thrilled when I suggested the place.
The drive was short since it’s located less than 5km from eldoret town along the Eldoret-Nakuru highway. The entry fee per person is usually 150kenyan shillings,which is quite pocket friendly considering that the experience is worth it.

You can choose to have a guided tour but we opted for a self-guided tour. Every animal is caged with a label explaining about it placed on the cage. They house different types of wildlife ranging from different types of monkeys,birds,lions,cheetah, tortoises to crocodiles and lizards.
The most amazing part of the park is the snake park where they house different types of snakes. Each snake is labelled according to it’s characteristics.For instance,I didn’t know that some snakes are harmless. I still can’t think of how many harmless snakes have left me screaming and running for my life.
The cultural huts are also breathtaking and you get to learn so much about the kenyan culture. The poa place resort gives visitors a chance to enjoy recreational facilities and lots of awesome food. There also is a swimming pool which just makes you wonna take a dive in the cool inviting water; considering that Eldoret is quite hot during the day.
PS;The food there is really amazing and the place is recommendable for families outings.
