Introduction to the adventure
After arriving at Jomo Kenyatta Airport the day before, we are picking up our rental SUVs in Nairobi today and the adventure can begin. We quickly leave the busy hustle and bustle of the city behind and drive into the green Ngong Forest. The roads wind through densely wooded hills before we reach the remote Lake Magadi. The salty shores of the lake provide a unique habitat for various species, such as the pink flamingos. The rugged and fascinating routes already make the first day a real adventure.

Note:
Dieser Tag wirft oft Fragen auf, da die Route durch herausfordernde Serpentinen führt. Aspekte wie die wetterbedingte Sicht auf die Teeplantagen und die Pausenmöglichkeiten laden ein, gerne nachfragen.
