Depart Nairobi from a central point. We are headed in a southerly direction on the Namanga road; just before Kajiado we turn left and begin our ride to Selengei, this is a very smooth sand road, many fast downhills and great views sometimes of Mt Kilimanjaro but always of the surrounding savannah-we will overnight overlooking a dry river bed.

After a hearty English style breakfast we head out of camp in an easterly direction over great pebbly sand roads.

Lunch en route and return to Kili Buff later afternoon where we will overnight.
