Day 197… Thursday 5th October The 4th last land border crossing to deal with on this trip! I am counting them down as they are now getting tedious. The whole border crossing took 90 minutes which is not too bad. More paperwork to complete and a road tax levy of 62,000 Tanzanian Shillings (approximately £20)...Read More
Very green rolling hills (a reminder of the English countryside). Rain in the evenings and hot/muggy during the day. Cold at night. Carrots, honey, cabbages and tomatoes being sold at the side of the road. Rich agricultural land – many crops growing Huge tea plantations Houses in the rural areas well built with render. High...Read More
Day 196… 4th October Newly tarred roads in Kenya have been a treat but there are no lane markings so all vehicles tend to drove in the middle which can be precarious at high speed or when overtaking. Many motorbikes and tuk tuks with large loads (bamboo, timber, steel pipes). 3 hour drive west today...Read More
Days 194 – 195… 2nd and 3rd October Met Paddy and Bruce Nightingale for lunch and had a tour around Kenana Knitters where women from the local community knit toys for sale and these are sold to local markets and exported to other countries. Sat around the campfire with fellow camper Paul from Birmimgham who...Read More
Day 193… 1st October The rolling hills of Molo and Elburgon are very green and reminiscent of England’s green and pleasant land. Perhaps I am missing home. Visited Molo primary school where my mum, aunt and uncle went in the 1950’s. Found the area in Turi where my grandparents farmed. The road up there was...Read More
Days 191 & 192… 29/30th September Self-drive game drives around Lake Nakuru National Park. Beautiful lake and saw rhino, pelicans, flamingos to name a few. Headed out of the park and stopped for fuel and food supplies (card payment possible). Police in blue uniforms but only stopping lorries or mini-bus taxis. Quiet roads heading north. Our...Read More
Day 190 Thursday 28th September Visited the Karen Blixen museum where she lived from 1910 to 1931. Great tour around the house, gardens and coffee factory. I must read the book ‘Out of Africa’ which she wrote, based on her life here and re-visit the film. Drove up to Lake Nakuru National Park. Paid park...Read More
Day 189… Wednesday 27th September Usual campsite companions – friendly cats, German shepherds, and vervet monkeys. Very close encounter with a monkey in the tree above trying to take aim and pee into my morning cup of coffee. Not impressed but it could have been far worse 😊 Took a half hour taxi ride to...Read More
Day 188… Tuesday 26th September Another border crossing today – only 4 more to go after this one! First stop the garage again. The one stop border crossing from Tanzania into Kenya was a delight and one of the most efficient with friendly staff and no queues. All under one hour with health check/immigration/customs out...Read More
