Geo: 0.20874, 36.1395It was good to leave Uganda behind, it was strange how we kept having to traverse through Kampala and Jinga, it seemed that we were travelling without going anywhere. Kenya is a complete surprise all the time. We must be completely ignorant of what to expect so are constantly amazed at what we experience. Any way back to the story.. Into Kenya and headed towards lake Bogoria.. Magic drive up and down mountains all day with a max altitude of 2390mtrs.. In one day we have passed through something that reminded us of English countryside, followed by a huge escarpment, then something that looked like the Gammon Ranges, followed by a Desert area, and finishing with an area that was in flash flood. Houses completely surrounded by water. Crazy country.Lisa started to get a ... read more

Geo: 0.315556, 32.5656We had met a group of overlanders travelling together whilst we were in Kampala. One German, one Mexican and two Canadians, strange but true. The Mexican was travelling on a motor bike, the German was alone in the most technologically advanced Toyota Landcruiser that he could buy fully kitted with all the bells and whistles even had a Paraglider packed within. I joke not!! At one stage he needed to drill a hole and delved deep within the various storage racks within and produced no other than a top of the range cordless drill (German of course.. Bosh) the other couple Nic and Ian are travelling the same way into Ethiopia that we are intending, the other two are heading down.We intend to meet up with Ian & Nic in Nairobi once we get ... read more

Geo: -1.25418, 29.9928Had an early morning start as we had to drive 50km in very mountainous terrain, average altitude is 1900mtrs. The drive took us into some magnificent country through little villages. Unbeknown to us tourism into this area is relatively new thus people were having a good look.. one lady even ran away then stopped to have a look, I gave her a big wave and all was forgiven. The track is very good considering the terrain we were lucky our drive in was dry.. however once we arrived at the camp site the clouds rolled in and a thunderstorm started.. hence writing this blog in the early afternoon. The roof top tent is holding up well and has not leaked at all.The forest we are going to walk in was part of the forest ... read more

Geo: 0.447036, 33.2115Customs & Immigration into Uganda was a breeze, we decided to stop over at a town called Jinga which was a short drive thus ensuring the day did not blow out into a last minute dash before night fall to find a camp.Unbeknown to us Jinga is the designated start of the Nile river, humm should have known that!! We camped at Eden Rocks Campsite perched on top of a cliff overlooking the first set of rapids as the Nile blasts out of lake Victoria. Awesome.. Also unbeknown to us the camp site was the resting place for volunteers to help with the SoftPower thing.. yep meant nothing to me either.. I bumped into an Australian Lady who had just arrived for a 6 week volunteer stretch to teach locals how to fire pottery ... read more
