kenya to ethiopia after Christmas
My son and I will arrive in Nairobi about Dec. 22 and considering heading up to Addis about a week later. Anyone else around who wants to go up with us, especially the Marsabit to Moyale part?
Anybody have current info on the road and security situation? I heard the rains turned the road into absolute s... a while back.
Cheers
Larry and Mike, on Cape Town to Ethiopia journey and looping around Lake Vic. and back to CT from Namibia, on a couple BMW 650 gs's

Nairobi to Ethiopia, or the other way too
Hi Loraine, I am currently in Mombasa for a few days post-Christmas but then headed back to Nairobi for a few weeks. Looking at going up to Ethiopia a little later now like late January. Anyone coming or going these days what with the Sudan thing and the usual helter skelter on the Hell Road?
Cheers,
Larry

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
