Day 2 Msambweni - Sagala Lodge
We avoid Mombasa by taking the inside road via Kwale and dirt-road going to Kinango.
New roads are made with asphalt and soon we arrive at the Mombasa Highway. Depending on the weather and available time we can take an inside road, the so-called ‘rally-road’. We arrive before dark in the lovely ‘Sagala Lodge’. Nice rooms and a swimming-pool!
Day 3 Sagala - Oloitikitok
After breakfast we depart and take the Voi-Taveta road. New asphalt through Tsavo East National Park heading to Tanzania. Chances to see elephants and other game. Before we reach Tanzania we branch into what we call the ‘Rombo Road’, 70 km. of tough dirt-road. We are approaching the Kilimanjaro and if the weather is good we can see Kibo-peak and Kilimanjaro-peak. Overnight in a cosy lodge not far from Amboseli National park.
Day 4 Amboseli safari-day
This day is reserved for an optional visit to Amboseli National Park. That means getting up early because the Kilimanjaro and the wildlife are best seen in the early morning. Elephants, zebras, giraffes, lions and much more, beautiful nature with great photo moments and the impressive snowcapped Kilimanjaro in the background.
Costs 12,000 Kenyan shillings (€ 110) for entry, transport and nice lunch...

Day 9 Lushoto mountain-ride 120 km.
A wonderful ride in the dense populated mountains. The soil is fertile and rain is common here. So it became an agricultural area. Valleys are irrigated and planted with vegetables. The ride today is relaxed and the views are fantastic.
