Route info Sudan to Kenia
I am planning my route using the german book "Durch Africa" reading that I have the following Q's

From north Sudan to South Kenia you have two options

1 via ethiopia and north kenia.
-disadvantage is road conditions and the massai in the north of kenia

2 via south east sudan and enter the north west of kenia.
-disadvantage is the war in the south of sudan though I dont know how bad it is in the south-east.

Rout two has the advantage that the north west of kenia is well travelled by lorries but I dont know which route they follow in Sudan.

I did this trip in reverse in March 2001. As soon as you arrive in Sudan you have to get a travel permit from the police in which are listed all the places you are allowed to go.The South of Sudan is off limits. You can go either West into Chad, or South-east into Ethiopia. The road was passable last year in March, in the dry season. When it gets wet it will be tricky. Same thing for the road between Moyale (Ethiopian border) and Isiolo, Kenya, the beginning of pavement. But between Moyale and Isiolo you can always put your bike on a truck. Don't worry about the bandits. They have been very low key lately. I rode in company with a Land Cruiser who had an armed guard on bord.
