Sambaru to Lake Elementia

Long 8 hour drive from Sambaru to Lake Elementia but great to drive through the local towns and villages and see the real Kenya.
Very glad that we weren’t the ones doing the driving however, with a mix of roads including some Tarmac, dirt roads and some full of potholes and sand.

Lots of unique advertising slogans along the way- our top 4 were:
1. “Show us your metal”
2. “If you like it Crown it”
3. “Salon Beauty and Meat”
4. “Shuggies”
There will be a small prize for anyone who correctly guesses the products sold in each of these businesses.


We had a brief stop at Thompson Falls on the Ewaso Ng’iro River, beside an old colonial home – now hotel with beautiful gardens – great place to stretch our legs.

We are now at our next home away from home – the Senterim Lake Elementia Lodge. Gorgeous cabins right on the edge of the lake, with lovely views.

Tomorrow we are off to see the flamingos!

  1. I cant help thinking about Naomi doing the traditional dancing. I would like to see ten or fifteen photographs of that if possible !!!

  2. Hi cycle paths. I am Cyrus the Virus the the guide of the team. We are going to Lake Bogoria where we will be spoilt by the many millions of flamingoes there. The team is great and helpful in spotting the animals and whatever on the way.

  3. Surely Roger and Ryan will be bribe-able and will let the dancing video get accidentally posted.
    Loving the photos and the stories. Enjoy the flamingos.
