A rare piece of Africa untouched peopled by an equally rare breed awaits tourists at the picturesque agro-based town called Nara.
Divinely inserted in Nkanu-East Local Government Area of Enugu State in Nigeria,the poetry of nature that unfolds before your eyes in Nara is simply beyond words.
Or,what would you call the juxtaposition of a 100 years old one-storey Mud Palace with the ultra-modern Unateze Palace in the serene Nara skies?
Nestled beautifully in-between the ancient and modern buildings is a breathtaking vista of plush flora that culminates in the majestic and dramatic Romeo and Juliet Tree.Standing like a giraffe above the fence of a building,one can see a coconut tree with riped fruits that tell tales of abundance in Africa.
Traversing a river called OGBUOGBA is the sleepy bridge that sits atop an unexplored cave filled with exotic animals.It connects Nara farmers(like the one shown on a bicycle) to their farms in Ndiagu Umuiba.
Nara is simply an outdoor museum!Even on a tree trunk,one finds the picture of a horse drawn by nature itself.Then,at sunset,wonders and inspiration are written wherever you look.Yes,that’s when palm trees form the silhouette of an ‘inverted’ love symbol against the browning skies,in line with Nara’s acronym as ‘ the home of happy people’.
Where to stay in Nara is a search that leads you to a paradise called Broadway Hotel.A fully-tiled edifice with well-appointed cosy rooms specially reserved for a king of your status awaits you ,after having fed your eyes with Nara’s heritage sites.Visit Nara Nigeria this summer!
