Tsavo East to Malindi shortcut?
 

Hi
Anyone know anything about the condition of the Tsavo East to Malindi shortcut? Is it as bad as the Iringa - Dodoma road? Any info on it's "driveability would be appreciated.

As I understand it, the road is passable at least to a 4wd such as a defender, although not in particularly good condition; probably there are matatus making the journey too http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/ubb/smile.gif

the main concern is safety; a relative of mine who is a tourist policeman in Malindi seems to spend most of his working hours escorting groups to Tsavo, along that road; it's definitely considered unsafe.

I've sent an Email to the address in your profile, hope it's current, with his mobile number for more details

HTH

cheers + happy travels

Hi

Been in touch with a Saffer who works at Ocean Sport in Watamu. He drives it regularly and reports that is good, will have to double check the safety factor. Many thanks for the response and for the contact details.
Stay well,
