"We are pleased to announce that our Kisumu Safari train service has resumed. Please review the detailed information below for adequate preparation. Thank you for choosing our service!" Kenya Railways stated.
Train services on the route have been under suspension due to line rehabilitation, but the company recently disclosed that they would resume soon.
"The Kisumu Safari Train service is currently suspended due to ongoing line rehabilitation. Plans to restore the service are at an advanced stage, and it is expected to be available by the festive season," Kenya Railways stated on November 12.
Kenya Railways suspended its Nairobi-Kisumu train services earlier in the year due to damaged railway lines that were affected by heavy rains and previous flooding.
The corporation explained that the suspension aimed to ensure passenger safety as repairs were made.
