Day 143: Eldoret to almost Uganda, but then to Kakamega Forest
Caro made french toast for breakfast. The Indian owner then stopped at our site and apologised for not being there when we arrived. We asked him about Suam border post and he said we should [...]
Day 142: Nakuru to Naiberi River Campsite & Retreat
