  • It has been months of wanting to travel to Northern Kenya and when the curfew was lifted, I decided last minute to travel to Wajir. My plan was to reach Mandera unfortunately I couldnt manage to go that far.
    Here is my journey experience thorugh a region that we rarely here good news from. I hope this video will encourage most of us to travel to regions that might me considered no-go zones.

    As a budget traveller you could get cheaper hotel rooms for as low as 1K to 1500 for aircondtioned ones like Hiddig, Ainulqamar and Shaam opposite the Level 5 hospital.

    From Nairobi to Garissa is 5 hrs. Again on the rough road, the buses have higher ground clearance than on tarmac,especially Nissan Diesel UDs.

    I did the exact same journey ie Garissa-Wajir and also saw Lake Yahud in Wajir.Your video was helpful in planning my trip.I wanted to head to Mandera but was told the road and stay there for non-locals is risky so I came back to Nairobi.My bus was stoned several times by a mad man on Garissa-Wajir road at Habaswein and my back was hurt.I thought it was al-shabaab and was so scared but luckily it wasnt

    • @Ninaform
      @Ninaform  2 года назад

    Brother, you are the best. I could have never imagined what North Eastern Kenya 🇰🇪 looks 👀 like. It’s really beautiful and vast. Imagine if Kenya could use some of that Tana River water for irrigation in that whole area. I see a lot of potential in the vast wilderness of North Eastern Kenya. How unfortunate that there is a security problem from Wajir to Mandera. Thanks for the video.
