Truckin' Mara

Getting stuck is routine, OK for a few minutes but not if it takes a couple of hours.
We had a 2 wheel drive truck, big but vulnerable - even with chains.You can see why... no stones to pack under the wheels or support the sand tracks.

On the way back to Nairobi we found a truck, loaded with spuds, well and truly stuck in a rut. The spud bags took 3 people to lift, no wonder we had more success when they had off-loaded a dozen of them.

Security precautions

Lake Baringo camp must have lost a lot of toilet rolls to use a padlock! The nocturnal crocs and hippos prevented much use of the toilets anyway. <<...>>
