It is possible to enter Kenya without a Carnet!
Last year we entered Kenya from the Serengeti National Park into the Masai Mara without using our carnet. This border should be closed for tourist (but this was theory only in our case) and there are no customs, only police. Our car is parked in Kenya right now waiting for our next trip this April. The deposit was returned because our carnet was completely stamped by the Tanzania customs.
I assume entering Kenya without a carnet is also possible if you enter from Ethiopia using the lake Turkana route because there are no customs to stamp your carnet. I believe once you are in, nobody will ask you for the carnet.
The possibility to enter Tanzania from Zambia without a carnet was offered to us at the border but the price was rather high. We didn’t negotiate and we used our carnet instead.
For Sudan the situation is a bit unclear. Officially Sudan is not a member and it should be possible without. But there are stories of travelers being refused. Did anybody recently try to enter Sudan without the use of a carnet?
Probably the most difficult countries to enter without carnet are at the end of the trip, South Africa/Botswana/Namibia!
