Tips for bikers visiting other East Africa countries

They say Rwanda has the best roads in East Africa. There’s a lot of truth in this cliché. Some of the joys of riding on Rwanda’s well paved highways include the virtual absence of speed humps, and the abundance of signage everywhere. It’s very hard to get lost.

KTM 390 ADV – A Bike for All Reasons?

The engine is quite muted. A modest thumper soundtrack. It brings to mind the sound of a tuk tuk. It won't annoy the neighbours, but won't impress them either.

Accident report: drunk bodaboda riding

The matatu driver witnessed everything happen, stop his vehicle ... he was the first voice I heard demanding me not to stand since I was broken

Kapedo manenos

Bikers never try this route and don't say I never warned you. I'll never again in my life go through Kapedo - Lomelo - Lokori - Lokichar Road.

A random trip to Mwatate

I set off cruising at 90 to 95 km per hour. I was happy being greeted by some guys on personal cars, others on trucks and matatus. 3 hours later I was in Voi, had a failed meet and greet with someone here, 25 minutes later I was in Mwatate.

Moi North Lake Road, Naivasha

Fancy some dual sport fun? Try the 33km long Moi North Lake Road that loops around the northern part of Lake Naivasha. It starts at Kongoni near the alkaline Lake Oloiden, and ends at Morendat where it joins the Naivasha-Nakuru highway.

From Narok to Njoro and back

proceed to Narok via the Mau-Narok route. This is one of the most direct routes I've ever been on. Straight and straight ahead no branching or anything. The tarmac is fresh most if it. Very wide, minimal bumps

First impressions of Zambia

Zambian immigration was polite but careful - one look at my physiognomy was enough to send me for extra checks! I was allowed in, though!

A Saturday in Hell’s Kitchen

For SAKAYO and i, it would be the first fully tarmac stretch of road, 4hr.20min to Marafa from Diani, 190kms and back.... Making it 380kms covered in one day and 8hrs of riding. I started early(6.30am) to Nyali to meet up with Ralf. Mother nature decided to start making things exciting by introducing a slight shower and slippery tarmac. The ride to likoni from Diani was therefore very sketchy, what with trailers from Tanzania filling the road with spray and matatus in a hurry to overtake. The ferry crossing was uneventful and the ride to Nyali rather pleasant. The weather had dried out as i crossed thr ferry and it was going to be a beautiful sunny day. Om arriving at Ralf's place, we talked a while and had coffee, before leaving for Kilifi.

Taita Rocks

Taita is sort of Kenya's Switzerland, isn't it? Steeped in tales of tall hills, twisties and beauty. A road trip beckoned. El Dominar, a recent recipient of new brake pads, fuel filter, air filter, multi-function spotlights and clutch cable, was ready for action.

Eliye springs, Lake Turkana

Not a journey for the faint hearted especially if you are not spending the night in Eliye. Tough as you start, it test your relationships with the bike but by time you are making a return you are 'sandproof'. Short cut' theory did not work for me, I prefered Kangetei route while making the return loop. Its much better.
