She prophesied that these people would come carrying fire in their pockets and said she saw a long snake with its head in the ocean and tail in the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her prophesies came to pass in the 20<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;century as it was understood that carrying fire in their pockets was actually carrying match boxes and guns, the people of different colors were the whites and the long snake was the railway line that was built from Mombasa to Lake Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syokimau area is now a town, that has carried her name to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Map of <a href=\"https:\/\/property254.co.ke\/blogs\/unveiling-syokimau-your-comprehensive-neighborhood-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Syokimau neighborhood<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/property254.co.ke\/summernoteUploads\/16880366460.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-transport-to-syokimau-from-nairobi\"><strong>Transport to Syokimau from Nairobi<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Syokimau is served by a good rail and road network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of the new Nairobi expressway has eased transport to Nairobi and other parts of the country from Syokimau. However, most residents still use Mombasa Road which costs them between Ksh50 to Ksh100 to Nairobi CBD depending on the time of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syokimau is also the Nairobi terminus railway station. Therefore passengers from Mombasa using the standard gauge railway can swiftly transfer to meter gauge trains to get to Nairobi CBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, there are two trains that carry passengers to Nairobi in the morning and two in the evening charging Ksh40 only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-places-of-worship-in-syokimau\"><strong>Places of worship in Syokimau<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>PCEA Syokimau<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Destiny Life Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Marys ACK Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syokimau Central SDA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>St. Veronica Catholic Church Cathedral Syokimau<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>House of Grace Syokimau<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nairobi Chapel Syokimau<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Destiny Life Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIC Syokimau Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-healthcare-services-close-to-in-syokimau\"><strong>Healthcare services close to\/in Syokimau.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RFH Healthcare<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Katani Hospital<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baspen Syokimau Cottage Hospital<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AAR Healthcare Services<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mayaan Medical centre<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equity Afia Syokimau<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Syokimau Medical Centre<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getrudes Children Hospital<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fitness-center-gyms-in-syokimau\"><strong>Fitness center\/ gyms in Syokimau<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next level Fitness Gym- 0740 140 130<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switch Fitness Centre- 0729 573 656<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bliss park Gym- 0733 999 910<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thfcsite.onlinepfm.net\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thabiti Gym and Fitness Centre<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolex Gym and Health Club<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beauty-spa-parlour-in-syokimau\"><strong>Beauty\/SPA Parlour in Syokimau<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rubys Spa &amp;
