We travel all over the world and always …

We travel all over the world and always arranged by Thika Travel. Every destination and all accomodations were always as briefed upfront by Thika. Although they specialise for more than 30 years now in Africa, I never forget the moment we were in Cambodia and were headed to Vietnam the following day. Because we never really looked at our itinerary at home we suddenly noticed that it we should have arranged for visa in the Netherlands otherwise you are not allowed to enter Vietnam. So there we were in Cambodia without visa for Vietnam, our destination for the next days. Incalled the Thika office and explained the situation....and one hour later a guy on a moterbike came to our hotel, collected our passports and two hours later came back with our visa! It appeared that Thika had contacted the embassy and told them we are investors in tourism and decided last minute to visit Vietnam as well. Thats how we got our visa in an instant. You cannot expect a better service than this!!

14 things you need to know about Belgium for a perfect trip

May 21, 2022 • 6 min read

With a few tips, it's easy to navigate Belgium's historic cities and calm countryside © olrat / Shutterstock

Despite being one of the smallest countries in Europe, Belgium has a lot to offer travelers – medieval castles, modern architecture, a world-renowned fashion scene, great food, and more than 1000 brands of beer – really!

Belgium also has not one, but three official languages. Luckily, more than half of Belgians speak English, so it’s easy to get around – just be aware of the monolingual road signage (the language will depend on where in Belgium you are). Here are our top tips to help you make the most of a trip to Belgium.

1. Pack a raincoat

Influenced by the weather systems of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, Belgium has a temperate maritime climate characterized by frequent precipitation and heavy cloud cover. The temperature rarely climbs above 22°C (72°F) in the summer, and thunderstorms are frequent – so you’ll want to pack rain gear, regardless of what time of year you visit.  

2. Make the most of your trip by traveling around

There’s so much to see in Belgium, and it’s easy to travel from one place to the next by car or train, so we recommend splitting your time between several destinations. Get lost in the atmospheric streets of Bruges , hit the museums and fashion boutiques in Antwerp , lace up your hiking boots in Hoge Kempen National Park – the country’s only national park – and visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Grand Place in Brussels . Most cities are within a few hours of one another, making it easy to cover a lot of ground in a short period of time.

3. Bring pocket change in case you need to spend a penny

In Belgium, free public restrooms are virtually non-existent. Most public facilities charge and few accept credit cards, so you’ll want to carry loose some euros and cents in change. Expect to pay around €0.50 (US$0.54) per visit – get into the habit of using the washroom before leaving the hotel or restaurant.  

4. Swap taxis for public transport when you arrive in Brussels

Taxis in Brussels are among the most expensive in Europe – a cab ride between Brussels Airport and the city center will cost at least €3 (US$3.30) per km. While we won’t judge for splurging after a long-haul flight, the city’s excellent bus, tram and metro system will take you almost anywhere you need to go from 6am to midnight, seven days a week, including into town from the airport (for as little as €7/US$7.35 in total). For cheap, low-carbon transport, consider renting a bike through a bike-sharing platform, such as Villo! .

5. Don't rush to rent a car

Belgium is car-friendly in many ways – you can drive from one end of the country to the other in a matter of hours, and nearly all the country’s motorways are fully lit at night. It’s also super easy to rent a car on the fly, thanks to car-sharing apps such as Poppy and Cambio .

At the same time, driving in Belgium can be quite an undertaking. Signage is mostly monolingual, and the names of places depend on which language is spoken. For example, the German border city of Aachen might appear on Belgian signs as Aix-la-Chapelle, the Flemish city of Ghent is also Gand, and Liège is also Lîdje, Luik and Lüttich.

6. When in doubt, speak English

Belgium has three official languages: Dutch, French and German. Dutch (specifically, the Flemish dialect) is primarily spoken in Flanders in the north, while French is mostly spoken in the southern region of Wallonia, and German is the default in eastern regions of the province of Liège. Brussels (also known as Brussel and Bruxelles) is officially bilingual, speaking Dutch and French.

With language at the center of Belgium's knotty cultural identity debate, it's best to speak English if you’re unsure of the dominant tongue wherever you happen to be. You’ll likely find that most people, especially in big cities such as Antwerp and Brussels, speak flawless English anyway.

7. Recycle like a Belgian

Belgians take recycling very seriously. In fact, the country boasts the highest recycling rate for household packaging in all of Europe (an impressive 94.9%). While you should always take care to recycle and reduce when you’re on the road away from home, you’ll want to be especially mindful of this when traveling through Belgium.

8. There’s no need to tip in Belgium

Tipping in Belgium isn’t a standard practice, nor is it expected, as most service staff are paid a fair living wage. Furthermore, most restaurants automatically include a 10–15% tip in the bill. If you think the service was excellent and want to leave more, you can always leave a few euros on the table after your meal.

9. Extend a hand in greeting

How do you greet people in Belgium? It depends on where you are. Most people in Brussels prefer a handshake, while most folks in French-speaking Wallonia will turn a cheek for a kiss. To play it safe in these Covid-aware times, we recommend extending a hand to test the waters.

10. Don’t leave your shopping for Sunday

If you need to stock up at the supermarket or buy souvenirs, don’t plan on doing it on a Sunday. As most Belgians are Roman Catholic, many shops are closed on Sundays, including major grocery stores and banks. 

11. Drink beer, lots of lovely beer

Belgium is home to over 300 breweries and more than 1000 types of Belgian beer . So, it’s practically a requirement to imbibe while you’re there (and honestly, you might be judged if you order a glass of vino instead of a homegrown brew at the local pub). Try everything from pilsners and witbier to Trappist ales and naturally fermented lambics.

Oh, and don’t expect to chug your Duvel out of any old glass. Belgians love their glassware, and you'll find a dizzying array of options, from tulips and flutes to goblets and tankards. 

12. Can you drink tap water in Belgium?

Yes, you certainly can. Some even say the tap water is even better than the bottled mineral kind you get in the supermarket (bring a water bottle to save on plastic).

13. You can feel safe about being yourself

In 2003, Belgium became the second country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, and the country’s long-held progressive values and vibrant nightlife make it a top destination for LGBTIQ+ travelers. Brussels has long been the center of the scene – the city’s La Demence event draws partiers from all over the world 12 times a year – but even smaller towns such as Bruges and Ghent are getting in on the action.

14. Have fun – but be cautious of petty crime

Generally speaking, Belgium is a safe country with relatively low crime rates. For most travelers, the biggest risk is pickpocketing and bag-snatching in crowded areas. However, in recent years, there has been a rise in terrorist attacks across Belgium – travelers should exercise vigilance, particularly in Brussels, where international organizations, including NATO and the EU, are headquartered.

Thika Travel Speakers’ Academy: The Story Of Dr. Philip Stander

The Herman van Veen Arts Centre turned out to be the perfect location for an impressive lecture. More than a hundred guests filled the lecture hall and listened breathlessly to Philips story. His life’s mission is undeniably admirable – he monitors and protects the desert lions of Namibia. For weeks on end he lives amongst the lions to track their movements and habits.

‘His’ Desert Lions

With noticeable excitement tinging his voice, Philip speaks about the moment when a small group of desert lions was re-discovered after their supposed extinction. Out of pure passion for these remarkable animals Philip started the Desert Lion Conservation Project in the nineties. Within twenty years, the population of lions grew from a dozen to a hundred-and-fifty. Philip shows breathtakingly beautiful images of lions, lionesses and their playful cubs on never-ending desert plains.

Success and misfortune, however, often go hand in hand. The steady grow of the desert lion population resulted in a rise in human-wildlife conflict. For local farmers, the lions are a huge threat. The cattle that is indispensable to their way of life is an easy target for the big cats and the farmers will go to great lengths to protect their property. Sombre images of lions shot to death fill the hall with emotion.

Early Warning System

Philip tells his captivated audience about his human-wildlife conflict management plan and early warning system. In short, this system warns the local communities whenever lions are nearby. They can then take necessary precautions such as put their cattle in enclosures, and thus reduce the need for conflict.

In order to track the lions, Philip has outfitted a few dozen of them with special GPS collars. These collars work with special software designed by IT specialist Luuk Eikelboom from CARE IT Services. Luuk gives the audience a demonstration of how lions can be followed live on the screen. Amazing to sit in this tiny village in The Netherlands, watching lions strut around nine thousand kilometres away!

Vanishing Kings

Philips work hasn’t gone unnoticed by the larger audiences. Filmmaker and speaker at this lecture, Lianne Steenkamp, talks about how she and her husband Will followed Philip and ‘his’ lions for months. The results is the amazing two-part documentary ‘Vanishing Kings’, about the life of five young lion brothers. Lianne shows the first part of the film and takes us into the intimate life story of ‘The Five Musketeers’. I think I speak for many when I say that the film moved me, and that more than before I understand the need to keep working on human-wildlife conflict.

Clear is that the same goes for our guests. After the lecture, the books and DVD’s – of which the profit goes directly to Desert Lion Conservation – sell like hot cakes. Philip tells me he’s touched by the heart warming response and that he can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow, at the Thika Travel offices in Belgium.

List Of Best Places To Visit In Thika

Here is a list of the best places to visit in Thika. Adjacent to the northern border of Nairobi county and home to more than a million citizens, Kiambu County boasts a variety of economic and entertainment activities. Thika, the largest town in Kiambu has more to offer the world than the agricultural products it is so famous for. Connected to Nairobi by the Thika Super Highway. It is also easy to get to and visit.

For a weekend or road trip, the following sites are a must-visit.

Best Places To Visit In Thika

1. Blue Post Hotel

Nestled on the banks of the Thika River, the Blue Post Hotel is a tourist hotel that was started in 1908 and is located at the periphery of Murang’a County, on its border with Kiambu County. The Hotel is located just off the Busy Thika Super Highway about 5 Km away from the industrial town of Thika. The property is spread over a 32-acre piece of land and sits between two rivers and two natural waterfalls i.e. Thika and Chania Falls. No one visits Thika and fails to stop by this iconic hotel. The chefs here possess the most top-tier culinary skills, ready to send your taste buds reeling in shock. Their meals are mostly served buffet style so that you’ll get spoiled for choice with the wide array of delicacies, both local and international cuisines.

What’s more, is that you can wonder at the scenic Chania Falls, which gives you an unbeatable scenic view. The entrance fee is only Ksh 100, and the hotel is very family-friendly, so be sure to even tag children along and let them have fun at the amusement park. Boat riding is available in their small pond, and so are other activities like horse riding. Most hotels hardly have game-viewing activities, but you’ll be in for a surprise at this particular hotel with different animals such as snakes, porcupines and crocodiles. They even have a museum with a collection of various artefacts that you should check out.

2. Thika Greens Golf Resort

If you are looking to lavishly spend and get value for money, try visiting this resort. Everything from the entrance to the well-mowed lawns oozes pomp and luxury and is easily accessible from the Old Muranga road. 

Accommodation facilities are offered, should you wish to extend your stay by a day or two, for about 100 USD a night. Room service is 24/7 in case of any emergencies. Breakfast is served free, and you get to choose from a wide array of dishes. An on-site restaurant is available to cater for your dietary needs, and they have both local and foreign delicacies to indulge in. Wi-Fi is free, parking is ample, and security is tight. Other activities to engage in are golf playing, fishing expeditions and cycling.

3. Christina Wangari Gardens

If flowers and nature interest you, then make a point of stopping by these iconic gardens. Located along Uhuru highway, opposite Thika municipal office, this is the ideal place to sit and relax, especially if you’re looking to be away from the noise. The well-mowed grass and the breezy fresh air are simply comforting, you can even have a nap. There is an artificial fountain and pond which adds to the allure of the place.

Group activities will surely thrive here, such as picnics, and there’s no better way to bond than over good food and drinks. Team building activities and seminars are also held here. Another plus is that you can comfortably visit the place even on a tight budget and still enjoy your stay, and feel energized at the end of it.

4. Thika Dam

Thika Dam is a large dam located on the Chania River in Thika, Kenya. It was constructed in the 1960s as a source of irrigation and hydroelectric power for the surrounding region. The dam is approximately 50 meters tall and has a storage capacity of about 72 million cubic meters.

Thika Dam is a popular spot for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and picnics, and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. It is important to exercise caution when visiting the dam, as the currents in the water can be strong. The dam is also an important source of water for the local community and is used for irrigation and other purposes.

5. Thika Museum

The Thika Museum is a museum located in Thika, Kenya that showcases the history and culture of the Thika region.
