Nice vlog, I'm Kenyan and I would like to explain the situation at L. Turkana. First of all, those are very remote areas and even finding a Swahili speaking individual is great. The man came to guard you, because its a normal practice to have guards in those remote regions, not because of the locals, but because of bandits or militias who can pause a security threat if encountered. I love that the old man guarded you the whole night. Kenyans are really hospitable people. I hope you enjoyed the trip.
Thanks for elaborating Dianah! As an outsider it can sometimes seem unnecessary to have an askari, as all people we meet are so friendly. But agree that this area suffers from militias, although we informed us well before traveling there and the areas that we traveled to should be relatively safe right now. We really enjoyed our time in Kenya, you live in a beautiful country! Glad you enjoyed the vlog. If you haven't seen them yet, there are 3 other episodes about Kenya 🙂
Yeah, that 1 day was unexpectedly challenging, more challenging than our actual northern loop where everyone warned us about that the roads are challenging.
Hello, glad you enjoyed the video and subscribed to my channel! We have 2 tanks of 90l. I think we filled up 1,5 tank before departing. If not needed, we don't fill the second tank as it's a lot of extra weight you carry. But as we adapted our route a bit on the go (adding Reteti & the challenging road over Doldol) we filled up another 20 extra liters at the wind farm at Lloyangalani, just to be sure. This is on private property so no guarantee that they allow you on the premises, but we didn't encounter any issues. Good luck planning the trip!

Djeezes, ik denk niet dat mijn hart zo'n route zou overleven 😅. Goeie driving skills gekweekt Benji 👌
Ik ben ook blij met mijn rol als copiloot. En dat ik af en toe eens kan uitstappen om te filmen 😆
