Wildebeast Migration, Maasai Mara, Kenya
I met Jonathan Scott last weekend (one of the presenters of Big Cat Diary) and as he has lived and worked in that area for many years I asked him his advice on when was the best time to visit the Mara. He recommends late September as the grass has been cropped down and there is still plenty of predator action to see.

Traveled up to Nanyuki for a couple of days at a friends camel camp. Spent my time relaxing around camp as I wasn't so well and, therefore, I had a great time. The camp is based around that of nomadic Ethiopian pastoralists, so traditional shelters, long drops, camel meat and camel milk were the order of the day. Those with dicky tummies need not apply!
Got the bundubasher serviced last week and now have a long list of stuff to buy in order to bring it up to speed for our expedition back to Zim next Xmas. Last time we went via Zambia but this time we will go via Malawi and Mozambique - should be fun but I will have to be 100% certain of the truck before we go as it's 4000km there and 4000km back! Not a pleasure if you have to have your vehicle towd home!

- If you paid for a bond when you entered Kenya, leave the country asap and get your bond back – this is urgent!
- Do not listen to any guys who say they can “register” your car, you cannot legally register any car older than 8 years. Do not allow any Mr. Fixits to put pressure on you by getting the cops to threaten to tow your car away. This will undoubtedly be a “put up job” organized by Mr. Fixit and one of his “friends” in the police dept.
- Our car was de-registered in the UK before export to SA. We then re-registered it in Zim. All documentation is in my wife’s name.
- The AA Insurance Brokers Ltd provided the “Bankers Indemnity in respect of the AA of Kenya: Touring Garantee” (Mr. PM Mwirigi, Fax: 020 272 3199). Docs req: Reg/Log book and possibly proof of value.
- The AA Carnet Dept (Monica, Fax: 825068 or 825119)
- Carnet du Passage (12 months, 25 pages): US $400, Insurance guarantee (Vehicle valued at 500,000Ksh): US $351
Hope this will be of some use. Jeremy "Enzo" Elphick-Pooley www.BUNDUBASHER.com S1.27269 E36.76140 Nairobi: 0723 152 787
