As for speed seems like on the clear stretches 180 is the norm, most we have hit is 285. In the last 10 years only hit 1 cow

Now am a fast driver when stressed but God help me not to shift to anything out of Japan; at least in them the cap is @180kph. Would not want to try 285 even if there was a price tag.

Nice photo and road.Love the greenery that is coming up My only concern is, will Kenya drivers obey the law for intersectios with out traffic lights or cops? Or will those intersections like one seen above (under the overpass) be tunred into a traffic gridlock with drivers fighting for the right of way.

Our family has been doing rally in Kenya and Tanzania for decades. Kind of addicted to speed.

Im going to post some pics of the Road from Nairobi to Makindu via Machakos. LOVELY road. I highly recommend that road to anyone, Very scenic in my opinion, going along the hill sides

Just build another next to the existing one.

Man, if i get a chance to visit Kenya. I will be speeding like i'm being chased by the police.
