7 DAYS TO THE NORTHERN KENYA
LONG THREAD.
DAY 1.
Nairobi to Lodwar via Nakuru -Sigor road. 80k of rocky terrain meandering through kerio Valley. The scenery is magical to say the least. There is a 35km unpaved secrion from lokichar, 90km from lodwar Town.
FROM WHATSAPP!!!
James Gichuru imekuwa notorious.
Guys be warned, About James gichuru road in the night, Someone from the woods threw an egg to my windscreen.
We did a Nyeri run with CX-5 diesel.
My verdict: Great fuel consumption
Perfect torque especially when overtaking.
Downside: interior is so plastic n basic . Seats are not comfortable especially for long distances.
The route can get treacherous especially after the Mt,Kenya gate, we got lucky it didn’t rain. To conquer this whole trip your ride must be 4*4 with low rage gear box cz some cars could hack the steep on Magnet Hill( Frame one).
Stock up on food,firewood and warm clothes,it can get really cold at night -2 degrees.I experienced high altitude sickness and it was crazy,thought I was gonna die 😂😂😂.The whole trip was just fire 🔥. The view magical.
A Thread.
LUXURY in the Mara on a budget.
