Leaving the beautiful lake setting,
we approached the remote frontier town of Maralal - famous for its annual
'International Camel Derby'. The bar at the Yare Safaris Club &
Campsite (who organise the derby) is filled with trophies, photographs and
mementos relating to the derby - good conversation topic.

The first
part of our route included rocky roads, flooded pools and lushness of the
Horr Valley. 30km later, after climbing
over the escarpment, the terrain changed into totally barren landscape
with shattered lava beds. The road was tough going on the Landy as we
challenged the volcanic rocks. 8hrs later, we were rewarded with
views of the amazing Jade Sea...
