Hi, i love this. I planning a cycling trip to TZ via Loitokitok border. If i may ask, the road from Emali to the border, are there many climbs? What of that from the border to Moshi? I hope the climbs are minimal.
Another very entertaining video, thanks for sharing. I have to go back to your video of the leg that has Arusha - Moshi and see if I can spot a place called Usa River. What strikes me most is how built up it is now, compared to 40 years ago
I just about edited it out!!! Let us see if you will spot the sign. One of the things I loved about the drive in TZ is that they have signage everywhere. As soon as you said "Usa river" I knew I had seen the sign on the drive. It is interesting having feedback of an area from someone who saw it decades ago. Thank you very much!
The LVS road to Kajiado is well made, challenges will be sharper corners, livestock (this has caused a pal to roll), isolated esp evenings, and maybe just too many bumps. As for Mombasa Highway, that is a disaster. I can't wait to see it get dualled into a proper Motorway!!! You can actually do 2hrs for he 110km from Emali to Nai.
at point 10:14 you can see the place. It is around 3km from the actual border, should be the last major town before the Oloitoktok border. I do not know the name of that town. The bar is opposite a petrol station called Tilisho.
The low speed limits of 50kph and 30kph in TZ is clear evidence of how slow Tanzania and Tanzanians are compared to Kenya where the speed limit is much higher and why Kenyans are considered quicker.
I think the Tanzanians would like just a bit more speed. It is ridiculous to install a 30kph limit up quite a steep hill. If it went up to 60kph, I doubt the road would be littered with body parts. On the flip side, I would like Kenyan speed limits to be enforced. We respect them by breaking them as it is! Thanks for watching!
Driving in Tz as a Kenyan driver requires lots of patience and discipline. Anywhere you see small towns or people crossing or police checks, just keep it 50kph and relax and Wait for the jungle.
Hi Moses, you need your logbook (if you will be going through the same border on your way back). If you will be using a different border on your way back (as I did), you will leave a copy. You need to pay 3rd party insurance (easily got at the border). Extra info...In these times, you need a negative COVID test and a yellow fever vaccination certificate. The rest are the usual. A passport and such.
@@mjombasadu3826 True. There are other nuances that come in. To add, also reflector triangles, fire extinguisher and first aid box are all requirements.
plse keep ur much know on road safety at home in Kenya! Follow the rules while in Tanzania! It's arrogance bringing ur skewed opinion on roads u don't know! Leave ur jingoism at home!
@@karyori69 Just to be clear, I don't want any road laws to be broken. I just expressed my opinion that the laws in TZ were a little too stringent. By all means, please follow all road laws.

Hi Owen. I don't remember it being particularly hilly. I think most of the climbing would be on the TZ side. Enjoy your ride, tell us how it goes!
@ofroadsandplaces thanks

That was lovely,I did the same trip 20 yrs ago. Umefanya kazi poa sana
Asante sana! I wish I knew how the road was 20 yrs ago!!
Thanks for sharing! Love the content.
Thanks a lot for watching!

Emali to Nairobi was an unnecessary headache! Hated it.
Will definitely try the LVS. Maybe during the day.
The next gvt will dualize the old highway and also build the expressway which betchel was to do but instead China will construct instead
@@kingjoshuamhuamk2559 Sounds like you are saying there is more doom and gloom for Msa rd users after the expressway disaster?
*There are no potholes in the Kajiado road you avoided, it is actually new.*
Thank you. I will get time and drive on it. Thank you for watching.
The worst section of the Mombasa road is the salama hill. That winding road is just baf
With the rumors they are looking to dual it, I just imagine the traffic mess it will have at that spot especially!
where place did you stop for the chicken?

Hahaha. Even in the "jungle", you still find them hiding in the bushes! It is a bad place for Kenyan drivers.
@@ofroadsandplaces Honestly I cant drive there, I'd be jailed.
@@chamita123456 Wait till you enter Moshi town and the city council askaris see that Kenyan number plate 😋
What vehicle documentation do you need when crossing the boarder? And what is the procedure please?

If the vehicle isn't yours, then you'll need the owners' signed letter of authorisation or something like that

wheneva you can kindly do one for isiolo moyale marsabit
It is in my bucket list. Really want to do it, time and finances allowing. Keep tuned and thanks for watching.
A Kenyan driving in TZ is like a carrot driving in a rabbit country. Exasperating.
It is the fake kindness that grinds my gears! Better to have a rude KE cop and you fight fire with fire!
Next time go to Tang tz you pass through Mombasa
Thank you Yussuf. I will consider this next time. Thank you for watching!
@@ofroadsandplaces you're welcome
Simple…bumps were erected because of the on coming vehicles descending to regulate speed…
I agree. Most inconvenient thought!😁
*Holili*...
Sorry for murdering that one!
IKO SAWA LAKINI UNGEPINDUKA KIDOGO TUONE MLIMA MKUBWA

Why couldn't you show Mt Kilimanjaro?

Everyone has an opinion. You are welcome to make any you like here. Thank you for watching!
@@ofroadsandplaces why then u want the road laws be broken while u do that ij Kenya? DO u listen to urself?
