We left Jinja early as the pull to Nakuru in Kenya was a hefty 400kms with a border crossing.
It looks like MTN has taken over the whole of Uganda. One way of getting your shop painted is to sign up as a distributer with one of the cell phone companies.
We had an easy border crossing at Tororo from Uganda into Kenya but a problem on the Ugandan side left trucks piled up for about 5kms on the Kenyan side. The drivers just have to sweat it out on the side of the road for days.
Hundreds of trucks waiting to clear customs.
The road to Nakuru via Eldoret was just madness with trucks. The road has been completely wrecked by the trucks.
We saw trucks overturned, jack knifed and a head-on. I think they drive nonstop from Mombasa to Kenya and Uganda.
Finally, Nakuru with the famous Lake Nakuru with all the flamingoes in the distance. We headed for Lake Nakuru Camp just outside the National Park but when we got there they did not allow camping. So we just booked in and had our first bit of 5 star after 5 weeks. It wasn’t too bad either, $120 per person with dinner & breakfast.
We gave the flamingoes a miss as it was going to cost another couple of hundred dollars. They are crazy with their park fees.
