This is where Kamwana was born? The kid and the calf... The first time I took the twists and turns from masaku to Wote I was mesmerized. Try that route, get to Wote, then via Ukia into murram all the way to Emali... and back via Mombasa road. The Athi river, Kitengela, Kajiado, Namanga route is another nice one. Can't wait for the Magadi, Kajiado, Maimahiu bypass. Or Naivasha Nakuru Baringo Bogoria... tho' rains have washed away parts of this route.

Nairobi nat park use the off roads Only a dead body can do that route, a live body will be minced meat for Kamau.  Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

You were born and grew there...for non-immigrants like me mambo huwanga ni kudialala!!!!!!! These areas are safe during the day while your car is still moving. If something happens to your car, then that might be a different story all together. I once drove to Limuru via village market - Ruaka very early in the morning. There were already fellows idling by the roadside and they were giving me looks that suggested if the car just stalled a bit, I would be "toast". Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

To me the route must be from Ukunda to lunga lunga as you approach TZ tanga.
Travelling from Mombasa to Malindi is also breathtaking,a stop over at takaungu is also advisable

Ruaka - ndenderu or ruaka - banana, the latter you will find guys idling or lazily walking on the roadsides way past midnight, those guys rarely sleep. Drove to banana the other day at around 2 - 3 am and they were out and about.

And a detour to Shimoni on your way to Lunga lunga... wacha tu! Takaungu I must visit. But Mombasa-Malindi is not complete without lunch at Vipingo Ridge Golf club... just for the scenery.

Someone please describe this route, from where on Nbi-Nakuru road do you get into this route? You branch off at Flyover, located about 65-70km from Nrb. From flyover branch off (to your right) from the road heading to Thika just about 1km from Fkyover and take the Flyover - Njabini road (very bad right now) but from Njabini it's a bliss. Alternatively, you can use Thika road and branch off to use the Thika - Gakoe - Kamae - Flyover road. It has been carpeted and it is also scenic especially the forest.

Agree with Ma$ and Harrydre on the enjoyable scenery of Njabini - Engineer - Ol Kalou - Dundori - Lanet route. Interesting panaroma over a lot of Nakuru once done with Dundori forest before starting the descent to Lanet. The route to Embu via Thika/Matuu is also pretty awesome right now - and a detour to Masinga Dam with the current overflow is a must!
