Interesting topic (especially seeing as I'll be doing this early next year!) - I never imagined that by the time I got to ethiopia/kenya there would be too many potential hazards - it's really close to forever unstable somalia i guess - I'm sure a lot of the trouble in this region is as a direct result of the insecurity there....
I have two qu's:
1/ I've heard about the military escort - as with freerockspirit, does anyone know how much it costs and also does the convoy go from the ethiopian side at Moyale into Kenya?
2/ I've heard about another route into Kenya from ethiopia via Lake Turkana (crossing at Banya Fort - approx 300km west of Moyale)...has anyone gone this way - I've heard that while it's a much safer route, there are no offcial border posts on it - It would essentially mean turning up in Nairobi without a stamp and with a lot of explaning to do! Can anyone verify this?
