Thanks Njung'e and wa"balls"

I used it in Mid October last year and vowed never to repeat it until its officially opened. It took me almost three hours from Mau Summit to Kericho - the contractor has cut and dumped materials in the most random manner. There are holes that can swallow a trailer and you have to fight for the remaining space with buses and the few trucks using the road. In your shoes I would drive straight through Eldoret -Musorit - Kapsabet - Chevakali - Mbale - Nyangori - Kisumu it is longer but safer.

The Nakuru - Tumaini - Olkalou - Engineer is one of the best roads I have used in Kenya. I love to see those mountains on my way to Nairobi and that's the best route to experience. i.am.back!!!!

Very true.The sharp turns and twists between Ndundori-Ol-kalou/Miharati-Tigoni usually leave me short of air.Pure adrenalin!! Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Njung'e, a shorter route from Mau sumit to kisumu. After londiani junction turn to your right and that is the new road to moholoni via fort tenan. There is a lot of construction happening but most of if the areas have okay. Shorter and better than kericho route.

@Njung'e; what work is this that you do that takes you to all these "exotic' places? Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

The shortest is Nakuru-Subukia-Nyahururu-Ndaragwa-Mweiga-King'ong'o-Kiganjo-NaruMoro-Nanyuki but the more scenic would be Nakuru-Subukia-Nyahururu-Rumuruti-Oljogi-Nanyuki-Narumoro-Kiganjo-King'ong'o into Nyeri.....Remember,you will be passing through bandit country (Laikipia plains)and therefore,avoid night travel Thanks Njung'e. Are there must-see sites to stop at on these routes? Oh yes!!......There is the escarpment stop high above Subukia,Thompson's Falls and if you use the Rumuruti route,you might consider a day stop over at Ol-Jogi ranch ( It's not a cheap place but it's worth every coin).There is also Kuki's place (Ol Ari Nyiro /Mukutan retreat) but you would need no fewer than two days to enjoy what this expansive conservancy has to offer. Njung'e Ol Jogi commercialized that place? I was their auditor a long time ago and we kept on recommending that they commercialize the place. But then, Alec Wildenstein http://www.independent.c...f-publicity-785555.html was still alive and he had tons of money to burn so they would hear none of it. Very elegant place especially the master house and the daughter's house

@Mukiha, I travel for the love of it.My longest road trip (It was madness) was Bukavu-Lubumbashi via Mbuji Mayi,Kolwezi,and Likasi and back.Bukavu-Mbuji Mayi is roughly 1400Km while Mbuji Mayi-Lubumbashi is roughly 1100km. The main highways between this towns are far much better than our A1s (They call them RN1s). Traversing Katanga Province and all it's beauty remains one of the most memorable things i have done this far and i would do it again. (Pix in previous post is of a road section between Likasi and Kolwezi in Katanga.Likasi is not very far from the border of Angola. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

Vi. Any dos/donts (ii). I know of South Africa requiring this. But please remember this is WHO requirement but it's Kenya using it extort money (read bribe) by enforcing at departure to deny you travel if you don't have. No one asks it outside our borders  IMPORTANT: Please go get it and don't say I didn't tell you. (iii). No idea (iv). Look for fish joints (I mean real fish ) (v). No idea (vi). Don't leave your money lying around in the hotel room

@Njung'e but do you say!!! Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.... Leo Buscaglia
