I took a car with a smaller engine to Mt. Elgon National Park na haikusumbua, so don’t be afraid of milima, it’s a road trip, what’s the rush.
Anyways, personally my next toad trip will be toward the south west of Kenya, side za Magadi and further towards lake amboseli and the park.
You could choose this route.
Alternatively, you could go towards Mt. Kenya, maybe to Ngare Ndare forest
These are places I haven’t gone to but are in my plans
Attached is my future travel bucket list (all the green marks), it might inspire you to find a destination for your road trip
Mkienda hizi roadtrips za mbali huwa mnalala wapi.
Mimi hizi terms za hoteli ndio hunilemea.Ati double room per night sharing with fullboard,single per night sharing.Sielewagi hizi terms ata midogo.Nimeelezwa mara kadha na pia shishikanishi.
try tafaria caste in nyeri.
Or maiyan villas in nanyuki…
Chaka is overrated in my opinion.
The girl is free of charge in all places you go to. A night at tafaria will be 11k per person on full-board.
You could also try sirville lodge in elementaita… Relatively new. Check them out online before booking.
How about you go to lake elementaita. Since the only thing you want is to enjoy a good Easter with your family. You could go there (not the hotels) just the lake itself (you pay kws 200per person), carry a small meko and have the lady make ready to cook things like meatballs, mince meat, etcetc…ukifika huko, set up at a nice place, arrange your things and make yourselves lunch beside the lake. Hang out and have a good private time talking and enjoying wine or beer (there are usually no people huko, aside from one or two herders). The goal is to enjoy quality time away from home, then ikifika time drive back to Nairobi without a hurry. It will be a manageable yet enjoyable road trip for a day.
Personally I dislike hotels, when I travel I prefer to camp. It’s more adventurous, less expensive, and I usually feel more relaxed.
Check these photos from Lake Elementaita.

I think you should have gone for the day road trip today coz tomorrow there will be crazy jams getting into Nairobi from MT Kenya region (Thika road),Western region (Nairobi-Nakuru highway),Eastern/Coast region etc etc.
So utapata getting to a destination is fine lakini getting back to Nairobi is a nightmare!
