Driving times in Kenya/Tanzania
by Steve007NY
We're currently making final decisions about an all-drive trip circling the 'great reserves' of Kenya and Tanzania.
I know weather (we're going in 2 weeks, short rain season) and such make it hard to say, but anyone with Driving distances/times on the route would be MOST welcome (or a website/source)
Nairobi-Amboseli (Tortilis camp)
Amboseli-Tanangire (Treetops)
Tanrangire-Ngorongoro (Serena Lodge)
Ngorongoro-Serengeti (Serena Lodge)
THE TOUGH ONE>>Serngeti-Isbenia border crossing-Masa Mara
Masa Mara-Nairobi
THANKS!!!

I don't know if that's much help but I've driven from Nairobi to Amboseli a couple of times 4-5 years back. If I remember correctly, the driving time was about 4.5 hours. The road from Nairobi to Namanga was not bad, but from Namanga to Amboseli it was a very bumpy gravel road. On one of our trips it started raining on our second day in Amboseli and it was amazing how quickly all the roads turned into muddy rivers. I am sure you know to avoid driving in the dark, so don't leave too late. Maybe if you check out the websites of some travel agents, you will get some idea of the driving times for the other parts of the trip?
Cheers.
