We had 2 contacts for organising the shipment of our car to Oman: Jane (+254 720 882 061) and Mario (+254 719 849 474). As Mario’s offer was 1,600.- USD less, we booked with him. Fellow travellers, Uli und Martina – 6x6ontour.eu, were doing the same, just that they were one week ahead of us. …
We visited the “Wildlife Works” office and learned about all their projects to make it possible that wildlife and local communities coexist. The area around Rukinga Conservancy is a critical wildlife corridor between the two halves of Kenya’s largest national park: Tsavo East and Tsavo West. At their “green house”, they are growing local trees …
We left the coast of Kenya for a change of scenery and something else to do, than to chill on the beach. On the way inland on the very busy Mombasa – Nairobi road, we stopped at the Rukinga Conservancy in the Tsavo area. There is a great campsite, Kivuli camp, in the middle of …
We spent a long time at Tiwi Beach at Twiga Lodge, a nice campsite directly at the beach under palm trees, while we waited for our shipment to Oman. Of course we also did some excursions. Amos organised for us to go dolphin spotting at the Kisite Mpunguti Marine NP. A Minibus took us to …
After a year travelling in Africa, we have to sum up very positive. 35 thousand kilometres on harsh roads, we did not face any accident or major technical problem, not even one puncture. But we saw a lot of accidents, critical situations on the roads and experienced a lot of unusual moments! Have a look …
Some infos from Kenya for our fellow travellers: Border:we came from Tanzania, taking the border close to Lake Victoria, which was a one-stop border and everything was easy. They even accepted our East Africa Visa, which normally doesn’t allow you to leave the three countries (Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya).After 6 weeks in Kenya, we left …
From Voi to the famous Twiga Lodge at the southern coast of Kenya, the road would lead through busy Mombasa. Driving trough this big city was something we wanted to avoid, so we checked our maps and found a route, taking us from Samburu to Kinango and Kwale and finally to the coast. On all …
After 12 Month and 30 thousand Km in Africa we are lucky, that we had no problems at all running our house through the (sometimes) very difficult tracks along our route. Even we are carrying 4 spare tires, we had not one puncture in the last year. The Mercedes Benz Sprinter 4×4 is performing good! …
From Amboseli it is a short drive to the gate of the next park: Tsavo West. We were greated by giraffes and soon after the gate reached the Shetani lava stream. Only 200 years old, the stream down the volcano is still clearly visible. Another highlight were the Mzima springs, where the water emerges from …
Amboseli NP, famous for its view of Mount Kilimanjaro, in addition to the wildlife, didn’t disappoint. The famous mountain made its appearance and we saw a lot of animals during our visit to the park. We stayed at Kimana Camp just outside the park, to make the most of 24 hours @ Amboseli. We did …
