I recently did Thika- Nairobi- Nakuru- Njoro- Nakuru- Lanet -Dundori- Ol Kalou- Engineer- Jambini- Flyover- Gakoe- Mataara- Gatura -gatanga-Thika.

I FELT GOOD!! Kenya is beautiful. The scenic route and the lush greenery were a sight to behold with a spiritual-almost Godly touch. The road is awesome, funny that few people seem to know. Try and you will never regret.

Simo, Yaani Ulipita Tu Hapo Karibu Pasenga Na Haukusema,

Ningetumana upewe Either potatoes, karati Ama A Really Fluffy Polished Merino Sheep Ngozi. Ukivaa Hakuna Baridi. Unakuwa Elder Pap.

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.

Who says our country is boring?

There was this amazing book written many years that had like 20 scenic routes to drive.

I have it somewhere, it also has maps. Let me look for it.

@JB, how about a drive through the Nairobi National park...enter through Lang'ata, exit from Kitengela side...

Or, drive through Karen, end up at Oloolua forest...very quiet, nice with rivers and waterfall, picnic sites etc...yes, I also didn't believe it is is Nairobi!!!! and entrance fee is like 100Kshs at the gate....thanx to one @Leona...

Garrissa - Habaswein - Modogashe

@Kularaha,
Could that be 40 circuits in Kenya by Philip Obeille(sp)? the dude who went on a gallivanting spree in Kenya with his family in a Pajero... I have the book, BEST investment ever especially for those of us who're more often than not on the road. The maps were also pretty accurate,and the distance estimates. I think he made the trips about 20 or 25years ago,but still very relevant

oops, busted! On a serious note lakini, was doing some job at a gov't office huko Wundanyi. True though, those ngeos are mbeotitifu and their customs good. Which reminds me, I've always heard eti kuna barabara inatoka Voi inapitia ndani ya Tsavo na kutokea Malindi albeit disused. How true is that? Apparently people avoid it coz of wild animals and poachers.
