Lukreshia Elizabeth Robai, the 22-year-old nurse who went viral after being captured dancing in a hospital, appears to be having the time of her life.
Kenyans have praised her after she was captured on camera entertaining a toddler at the Kitale Teaching and Referral Hospital.
The 22-year-old boosted the reputation of medical professionals for what most Kenyans described as a generous gesture.
The video she posted on Tik Tok received over a million views and hundreds of comments.
Expedition Maasai Safari flew her to the city on Thursday so that they could also reward her.
Ndung’u Nyoro, a humanitarian, announced on his Facebook page that Robai had been given a four-day vacation in Zanzibar.
“It’s four days holiday in Zanzibar for #DancingNurse Elizabeth Lukresia courtesy of Expeditions Maasai Safaris Help me congratulate Elizabeth for the holiday treat,” he wrote.
The travel company announced on their social media pages that Lukresia will also be their Brand Ambassador for a year.
Trans Nzoia County government has also agreed to pay her school fees for the remaining five months of her course.

They also assured her that she would be assigned to the same hospital where she dances lovingly for her patients.
She stated in an interview that dancing was her passion.
“It feels nice to be part of that society or culture that promotes wonderful things in this life. Especially when I’m giving medications, because hao ni watoto, I go to them with some kind of movement that can fascinate them,” Lukreshia said.
