13 July 2008 Day 134 Eldoret- Nivasha (Camp Cornelly's) Km BRUCE: The road for Eldoret to Nakuru was not as bad as I remembered it, maybe after the good roads in Uganda I'm more relaxed about using the odd bad one! It was Sunday but I thought I would try my luck anyway and see if Gilani's Butchery, in Nakuru, was open. I've heard great things about it but unfortunately it was closed. The road from Nakuru to Nivasha is brand new and was a welcome relief after ...

10 June 2008 Day 101 Malindi (KWS Campsite) 0km SARAH: It was a good thing that Bruce put our makeshift awning up as it rained on and off all day. So much for getting a tan!

We are the only white tourists in town so got the usual hassle from the local beach boys to go snorkelling etc. The curio market for tourists had 700 shops and we were the only tourists in there. We 'looked for luck' in ...

While we were there we saw 2 other landies from Jungle Junction so this must be the place! I went for a test drive with Robert, their head mechanics, and he had his guys check the steering from end to end and all they could find...
