kenya registered vehicle border crossing (Carnet Yes Or NO ?)
Hi,
I'm about to buy a 4X4 car in Kenya (Kenyan registered) and than will start an overoverland round Trip to southern Africa and back to the east (Mozambique, South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Zambia, Malawi, Uganda & Ethiopia).
Does a Kenyan registered vehicle can cross those border without Carnet De Passages ?
Thanks
Asaf

carnet.
Hi,
I own a in uganda registered car. For bordercrossings in africa i have to buy a t.i.p. at every border crossing. So i suppose for a kenyan car it will be the same. A t.i.p will cost between $ 50- 100 each crossing.
If you use a carnet, you have to bring the car back to kenya, otherwise you will loose your deposit.
Frank.

Asaaf - I know you can get as far as SA without a carnet (UG, TZ, ZM, ZW, BW, ZA, MW) don't know about the other countries though.
For Ethiopia a carnet helps although you can leave your car reg papers at the border instead:
We got a visa at the embassy in Nairobi, which required international drivers license and either carnet or log book (we were able to use our Kenyan log book, but needed to leave the original at the border).
We then drove from Nairobi to Isiolo on the first day. Isiolo to Marsabit on the second day, and Marsabit to Moyale on the third day. Reasonably long days (dawn till dusk), really crap roads, very corrugated, etc. Got really badly bogged in a sandy flow (up to the door handles!) in Moyale town, just 10 meters from the gates of the KWA. Half the town turned out to watch/help.
Border crossing was pretty routine, the eithiopians were reasonably officious, including attempting to check that the engine numbers matched, but really no trouble.
They give you a temporary import permit that got checked at few checkpoints as we moved north.
