  • This is a trip that we took in the first week of December 2022 when the short December rains were on and everywhere was green. It was also the Land Cruiser 80 series Shakedown (first) trip when we got to get a good feel of it.
    The Pajero has served us very well. It has taken us to many epic and remote places without a fuss or drama. But it was lacking space for the 5 of us. Also we needed a tougher recovery and towing vehicle for the Mara Nomads family.
    This was also about exploring Ol Pejeta and enjoying Jambo Mutara Camp, a fantastic place that's not enough well enough. Ol Pejeta is hands down the second best park in Kenya after Maasai Mara. Nowhere else will you see such wide variety of wildlife.
    We hope you will enjoy the video. And thank you so much for watching our videos, liking them and subscribing to our Channel. Means the world to us.

    Khadija, great job with the manual transmission👏🏾👏🏾
    When do you shift up in gears? As Rutto mentioned… listen to the engine sound, but even better use the tachometer to shift. Probably a good idea to shift up to the next gear at 2,500 rpm.

While the 80 will be the workhorse for the convoy to help tow and recovery any stuck vehicle since its triple locked and taller, and less loaded.
