truck hire at Moyale
 
being a whimp and the possesor of an already battered, shaken, but not stirred moto I intend to truck it and me from Moyale to Niarobi. Anyone got any contacts?

Ride safe, Mike

shifty blokes in the 'hotel' next to the border post (ethiopia side) will probably be able to help you out. can't remember the name, but it's the crappest hotel there, and it's literally on the border. they were sort of helpful when I was there.

No real contacts, but I'm sure you can find a ride there. There are a few crap hotels a little further from the border on the Ethiopia side. Most people staying there are crossing the following day- lots in trucks. The border guards themselves are friendly and can tell you who is leaving with the convoy in the morning. Most will be full, but you should find a way.

maybe it helps if you've just ridden up from Isiolo, but I really liked the little hotel near the border on the Ethiopian side so don't knock it!

Thanks for the replies guys, I rode from Moyale to Mersabit, entertaining to say the least and put me and the bike on a truck at Marsabit, 10000 shillings with a 14 hour truck ride over 260 ks of the worst corrugations I have ever seen, a real bike wrecker of a road. Ride safe, Mike
