    This is what we call top tier content!! Mainstream media will not show this. Truly captivating and scenic but at the same time very dangerous road. It needs expansion and cctv cameras to capture rogue drivers. Thank you sir!!

    I have used this road for 4 years straight while in uni at Narok and we always maneuvered smoothly. Never saw it as a big deal actually. You get used to it over time. And as crazy as it might sound accidents rarely happen on that stretch. God has a way of protecting his people

      We have dangerous and careless drivers who cause these accidents, truck drivers can also be very exhausted after many hours on the road and they can lose concentration. The worst is when there is a broken down truck and it cause traffic for miles.

    When God blessed me with my current car, a Toyota Ractis, I fuelled it upto full tank, where I drovwe my family to Maai Mahiu. My wife was amazed by the stunning views of the escarpment. She would talk with amazement as I drovwe the car slowly down the escarpment, and at one point, I had to stop at a curio shop for her to see well. Its true that we had a good view of the scenic escarpment. God protected us to Maai Mahiu and back.

    This road just needs a two lines on either side but now the road is 24hrs busy. Though dangerous it may look, accidents are very rare coz there is too much attention from the drivers coz any slight mistake. Good content on this road. It is one of the best scenes when traveling upcountry

    Nice documentary. The government should prioritize upgrading this section of the road because of it's great potential. On a lighter note, i was told by one historian that Mai Mahiu is a corrupted Maasai word 'Meimayu' meaning impassable(Haipitiki). I would kindly wish to visit the hot spring in that area, just in case there is any.
