Bicycle touring Kenya | Cycling through the land of the Lion King

Fortunately, we did not actually meet any lions in the land of the Lion King. But cycling through Kenya we came eye to eye with a lot of its wildlife.

After a crazy ride through Ethiopia I cycled through the North Kenyan desert to Marsabit, together with Simon. We ended up taking a long rest in Nanyuki, at the foothills of mighty Mount Kenya. Seeing that mighty peak every morning we woke up, we decided that we had to climb it. And so we went for an unforgettable 3-day hike up Mount Kenya.
Together with Simon and Caro, we cycled through Laikipia, probably the area in entire Africa with the most free roaming wildlife. We cycled among elephants, zebra, giraffe as we went onthe Kenyan backcountry roads. My journey almost came to an abrupt end there when my rear hub broke, but as if by a miracle, the only person in a 50km radius happened to have a similar bike to me and was willing to lend his wheel.
As Caro and Simon went home from Nairobi, I continued solo on my Cape to Cape cycling adventure.
