Give me your email to send you mwananchi prices



send me a quote thro wazuaprime at gmail dot com. dec 19-22 or thereabout. interest lies in North coast. as for south coast check out dianibeachaletes (google). fair rates in my opinion.

I did Cairo night train from Cairo to Aswan . I have also travelled the Mombasa train . By the way our Mombasa train is better in terms of raha and scenery but Cairo beats us on speed and continuity . Its more express stops in few towns . Remember that when I was young in 80s there used an express train timed to coincide with sight seeing . KR is sitting on a gold mine !
Peace be with you

Sad Sad In my search of adventure i chose to travel by train to msa a fortnight ago only to end up spending the night in Konza, some 15km from msa rd. A gooods train had derailed blocking the line ahead and we were to wait for a crane to clear the way. Crane arrived around 5am! Even after clearing the way the line also needed some repair which would take a day or so! It was back to nairobi. We arrived around 11am after leaving konza at 8am, numerous stops on the way. Got our refunds and end of the adventure. So if you take the train be prepared for such "misadventures". (The frequent train travellers among us informed us that such happenings are not rare)

The train is available from NBO Mondays,Wenesdays and Furahidays.
From Mwambao on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Goodluck!

That chinja kuku wacha bata is a classic nostalgia back in 1987 when I was still young and blameless.Was travelling from NRO when some white tourist heard me and my childhood dish singing that song, they gave us some biscuits and bangles I think.

Its good never to grow beyond age 7!

I thought passenger train to msa leaves Nairobi around 6pm and arrives msa early morning. So you will be travelling mostly at night and wont see much of Tsavo...?

No train leaves in the morning? What a shameSad

People would appreciate the scenery...

Good people, a friend of mine is planning to this trip mid-March.
She has been told it will take 14 hours but she has added then 10 more hours in order to be safe and enjoy.

Anyone who did the lunatic trip recently to advice.

It's OK, we know you want to take mpango mambasani and land at sea levels where gravity is strongest.
