Something not right?
Description
From South to North:
The road shortly before the junction to the east, in the direction of Maralal, is flooded, so you have to bypass it and then go south again briefly to get to the junction. At this point the diversion hits the road again and the police prevented us from continuing. „The area is too dangerous“. After some discussion, we paid money for the first time in Africa to get ahead. 700 ksh for petrol because they escorted us to the junction.

Latest Check-Ins
As of March 2021 there are government operations underway in the area to the north of Loruk, as well as the Eastern shore of Lake Baringo on the road from Loruk up to Laikipia (Maralal). They are trying to clear up bandit activity and as such the area is currently not safe - if heading up to Laikipia, take the road running between Lakes Baringo and Bogoria instead.
