@@bruceyv83 TBH, I thought the Cruiser would be the one pulling the Disco's out of 'sticky situations.' Was surprised to see it struggle with the rough climb...maybe the narrow tyres contributed?
@@iamjacobmwanga yeah, narrow road tyres wouldn't have helped. My disco surprised me how capable they are. Unfortunately they are wasted in the UK taking kids to school
I don't really know which is more thrilling, between walking and driving all the way to lake Ellis from the campsite, but I bet you guys had real fun...........such videos make us relive our memories, great video, keep posting."Thumbs up"
@@bruceyv83 I'm glad,i enjoyed part 2 even better. I was watching while thinking it must have been frustrating for the first guy,when he kept trying to go up then ended going down the slope.Also it's nice that you helped the lorry guys.
@@msonar3h Yeah that took a lot of effort to climb that hill! We had to help the lorry, they would have been there for ages and it's always nice to meet to local people. Check out my Rock Dune video. That was my best road trip
Thanks for posting I spend 2-3 months of the year in western Kenya and have a Toyota fj45 and have had many of road adventures I would love to try this one it would be on route from Nairobi to Kisumu so as long ass it didn't brake the truck would be good Thanks
HI, am looking to do this similar trip. Like you mentioned this place is off the beaten track and not much information online. I would like to hear your advice and recommendations for this place. Am planning to do it with a solo vehicle (Lc100) is it possible?
Parin Patel Hi, thanks for watching the video. Yes it’s a great place. The track starts here: goo.gl/maps/NK6gbHTSK5J2 and the gate where you pay to enter is here: goo.gl/maps/9AUoLU4K3SC2 (card or mpesa only). The track to this point is very good. After this point the track is mostly ok apart from one very steep rocky hill. (Where the land cruiser got stuck). At lake Ellis goo.gl/maps/UamfcsFM9AU2 there are no facilities, take your own fire wood and warm clothes. We struggled to get the fire going because of the altitude. The track is visible on google maps satellite view. Please feel free to ask anything else.
The YT algorithm really buries videos like this. Thanks for the OC.

You're living my dreams... getting to travel scenic Kenyan routes in a land Rover Disco
I was living the dream. Back in the UK now, so need to start exploring here
I have this on my Bucket list. This video has given me some confidence will definitely take it up. Excellent video by the way
That's great news! Go do it!

Woah! 09:58 that's quite a rough patch. Awesome video. KE is amazingly beautiful ❤
Yes, probably the hardest part of the journey

@@bruceyv83 How I wish I had access to such a capable 4*4...weekends would rarely find me in NBO. Could you please tag me along on the next trip?
@@iamjacobmwanga unfortunately we don't live in Kenya anymore. We miss it so much

That's great. You should really go there, it's a fantastic place
Almost taken out by a falling tree @ 4:30
Oh yes, that would have ended the trip early
Mate thanks for your videos, you are a secret gem. Why do u always 'adjust' tyre pressure when the car get stuck, what is the rule more pressure`?
Thanks! The secret is to lower the tyre pressure to get more grip. It makes the tyre footprint a bit longer like a tank track
Great video. What camera did you use to record the vlog?
Thanks! I used a GoPro 5 on a gimbal

eh rock crawl isn't the best setting for that track.
wonderful video though, happy someone is making overland videos of kenya!
Hey thanks for the sub! Yes I know that's not the correct setting, it was just for the B-roll effect on the video.
@@bruceyv83 great videos, I miss having a Land Rover, boring old toyota now.
@@kichaa13 thanks, means a lot.
