  • "Embark on an extraordinary journey with us as we venture into the ancient lands of Sibiloi and Koobi Fora, untouched landscapes resonating with timeless beauty and a sense of solitude. In this thrilling expedition, we blended Toyotas and Land Rovers, even daring Subaru Foresters, exploring where few dare to tread. Our faithful 1KD Toyota Hiace faced incredible challenges, but our team's resilience prevailed, marking our most unforgettable expedition yet!
    In 'RACING THE DARKNESS at Chalbi Desert- Cradle of Mankind Expedition II - Part 3,' we set our sights on Koobi Fora, our northernmost destination. Our return journey through North Horr to North Horr Sand Dune which Broline christened 'Suguta Ndogo,' followed by a breathtaking drive through Chalbi Desert, where the night's arrival led us to a thrilling 'race' against the dark.
    We navigated the Chalbi Desert's shadows, pushing forward to Kalacha before exploring the enigmatic 6km (some say its 24km?) straight Rock Dune. Our path continued eastward, encountering challenges that tested our vehicles' mettle, leading to a serpentine belt issue for the Toyota Hiace 1KD near Marsabit. Nonetheless, our spirits remained high as we celebrated our epic 1800-kilometer journey, culminating at Marsabit National Park.
    Witness the camaraderie, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes in 'RACING THE DARKNESS at Chalbi Desert- Cradle of Mankind Expedition II - Part 3.'
    Join us as we forge through Kenya's mesmerizing terrains, celebrating each moment of this unparalleled expedition.

    I believe people underestimate how capable the Forester is. I have done my fair share of offroading and It's surprisingly capable. You get the benefit of lesser weight than the SUVs but you will make it. Hail Symmetrical AWD!

      Yes, we have had an Xtrail on one of our toughest trips, the Jade Sea Expedition. It did well, very well. Plus it had been prepared well for the trip with heavy duty shocks and coil springs which lifted it a little up and improved its ground clearance, All Terrain tires, roof rack, carried a tool box with tools and spare parts that actually came in handy when it broke a stabilizer link which was promptly replaced by a spare, among other things.
