Easter in Kenya is characterized by religious activities. The largest population engages in religious activities that involve going to church from Thursday, on the eve of Good Friday, all the way to Easter Monday.

However, not everyone goes to church during this time. Kenya is largely secular, and there is a significant population that will be out there having fun. You can always choose what to do. Here are some things that you might want to be a part of to experience Easter the Kenyan way.

Attending Mass or Easter Services

If you are a religious person or curious about what happens in churches during this time, you can walk to any church and join in the celebration of mass or Easter services. Main towns have big cathedrals for Catholics and Anglicans, and there are a number of Pentecostal churches that your tour agent could recommend. Many Kenyans choose this time to worship and be in touch with their spiritual side.

Charity and Goodwill

Easter is a period of doing good and being there for people in need. It presents an opportunity to visit drought-ravaged areas, orphanages, hospitals, and prisons. You can arrange with your travel agent to make your Easter a period of goodwill and spread the much-needed kindness. Doing it with your family or a group of friends makes it more meaningful and fun. Come Travel Kenya can always arrange for you to visit in this way.

Easter Road Trips

If burning rubber is your thrill, this is the time. The roads are usually busy at this time, and the more the motorists, the merrier the road trips. You might want to try out new roads and see what is going on around the villages and main towns. If you are a guest in Nairobi, a trip to Naivasha or Mount Kenya could be a great thing to do.

Visiting Mombasa

It’s not just Mombasa; the whole Kenyan coast is normally lined with activities that attract large populations during Easter. Many families travel to the coast to have the beach experience. However, this is a time to avoid public beaches. You might want to check out what I have written on Places to Visit During Easter to make an informed decision about visiting the coast at this time.

Sampling Hotels, Restaurants, and Bars

If you love life, music, drinks, and food, this is the right time to hop in restaurants. The hospitality industry gives discounts and extra servings in the spirit of Easter. Many places are made fancier for this period. Bars also have the Easter hype. Bands blare, concerts are always up for grabs, and celebrities perform during this time. If you love Sauti Sol, Come Travel Kenya would gladly book you into a concert this Easter.

Easter Egg Hunting

There are places that organize egg hunting, mainly in big towns like Nairobi, Nakuru, and Mombasa. This activity will be enjoyed mostly by children if you are visiting with your family.

The City Tour

This would be a perfect time for a Nairobi City Tour. Many people go to their rural homes for Easter holidays, which reduces traffic in the city significantly. You can enjoy walking around the city, grabbing ice cream in less populated areas, and enjoying the town setting. It’s also a perfect time for city photography if you enjoy this.

Easter Safaris

This is also a good time to get a very affordable package for Easter Safari. Come Travel Kenya has lined up safaris for you to pick what you prefer most. Consider a three-day Easter Safari and have a blast exploring Kenya’s rich wildlife.

Easter is usually an awesome time to travel. It’s easy and affordable. You can always pick from the list of many activities to explore or even join a family and blend
