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.
This one I agree. But you don't to do murram if you are willing to avoid some sections. For instance, take the tarmac from Machakos all the way through Kathonzweni to emerge near Kibwezi. Then cross over and drive to Loitoktok if you wish or drive back to Nairobi through Mombasa road. This is a scenic hidden gem. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

For people with the time and patience, may I suggest the 'double mountains route.' Start from Nairobi and drive to Nyahururu, preferably using the new Njabini-Dudori road and turning right at Ol Kalou. From Nyahururu drive to Nyeri town, passing Baks new keja in Mweiga, and turn off to Kerugoya-Embu at Karatina town. Then all the way past Meru round Mount Kenya and through Nanyuki, Karatina, Sagana and back to Nairobi. You can do it in a leisurely weekend. The scenery is to die for.

Temebea kenya.Nbo is small. Depart: Nbo Arr: Khwisero Stopovers: 6 nkr-eld-kaps-jeptulu-chavachava-bushiangala. Watch out for heavy trucks,madeemoni and craters along highway. Enjoy cool luhya tea as you approach maragoli land. There's this soko for dogs.Tourist site. buy one simba for your house. You can use burnt forest, tokelezea kericho and enjoy the tea view.Awsome. That would mean approaching western via kisumu so enjoy the omena being hawked,just assume they are cashewnuts. When you arrive at Bushiangala,say bye bye to civilization and pray that you arrive in piece not pieces. Keep the windows open cz a lone cane chewing monkey could provide company. Last time I was around there,there was only one hotel serving tea and mandazis only.Forget chips and what not.Huko ni sugarcane so enjoy. The other delicacy was something called 'mfunga tai.It's a long ndao twisted like rope. And say hi to wamarama. Safe trip.

Here is another scenic route that I have not done in a long time. Start from Nairobi to Thika - turn right on Garissa road and keep going. Past Matuu, Yatta, Ukasi - it used to be a legal requirement to wait for a convoy here. Then on to Garissa. Spend the night, pray you survive the terrorists. Those days the only place you could get a guaranteed cold beer was at Oasis or the the PC's compound. Next morning head back towards Nairobi, cross the Tana rive bridge and turn left towards, Hola, Garsen, Malindi, Kilifi, Mombasa. Arrive Mombasa very late, dusty and dog tired (don't worry, it is all tarmac these days). Lodge at the Castle Hotel (does it still exist?), careful of the Fatima's attention. Early next morning head north towards Mazeras, Voi, Archers Post et al. Arrive Nairobi late evening, again dog tired but happy. Stop at Deep West for a cold beer and the best of Wenge Musica. Another weekend done, plus a day if you gave in to Fatima's temptation. The scenery is mostly desert. Not much by day, but see it under the moonlight and you'll never forget.

Its only in Kenya where you kati a girl by taking out to a food joint and the said girls eats like she is heading to the South Sudan the following day. I think Kenyan galz are food-maniacs!!! TAKE A GIRL OUT,AS IN REAL OUTING...HUKO KITENGELA PLAINS AND WALK IN THE PRAIRIES WHILE MUNCHING MOKIMO, SHE WILL NEVER SAY NO.
