Driving a car from UK to Kenya?

@MortyTuumbo

But Sudan barabara ni mzuri pia. Hakuna mvua iko desert.

Wewe unajua unasema nini? Some parts of S. Sudan are not desert, unaweza kwama kwa matope for days. And how will he drive through rebel controlled territories?

Average consumption is 19L/100KM, UK is like 10K kilometers away, hapo bado haujaweka pesa ya maintenance… Mlikuwa mnakula Mùgùka by any chance?

1. Maintenance: Used supercars are a challenge. They are usually very good new but since they have a myriad of complex systems, everything so fine tuned and balanced, it doesnt take long for a gazillion problems to appear abruptly as they age. Fixing them is not easy or cheap.
2. Usability: What is the road clearance of that car? Our roads are shit. Traffic congestion, huge bumps, potholes: one can drive a supercar at 100kph year round? Whats the point?

First tupeni hizo bhangi mnavuta, next uzeni hiyo gari na pesa mmepata buy another practical car for Kenya and ship it

Hehe, crossing sudan with a lamborghini gallardo is hilarious. Ataiwacha huko kwa sand dunes. Again, the journey could be more expensive than that car besides the fact that the car will need service along the way.The expanse of the sahara desert in sudan is what kept the greatest of empires from finding out the rich land that lies to the south. He needs a landcruiser, a drum of fuel, a toolbox and two spare tires. he might also need an automatic rifle. mwambie auze gari alete mpya zaidi na hiyo pesa. Na wewe ndiye huyo “a friend”

I agree.

The new ones are expensive. He talked with a dealer huko South Africa if he could purchase one there and the prices were beyond what he bargained.

His is a 2007 and he bought for around 8.5 million kshs. With around 22,000kms on the dash. He might as well sell it…

You don’t have to go to South Sudan, atachukua detour Ethiopia, but not with a Lambo.

What is the state of roads there vile kuna place nyingi remote?

There’s a British show called Long way down that documents the journey from London to Capetown by road. Some roads in Sudan were terrible, but they made sure to avoid the rainy Season. Shida kubwa ilikuwa the isiolo moyale road, but this was 10 years ago so alot has changed.

He’s moving back home. Sahii anajenga nyumba huko spring valley.

We were just talking about it if its something feasible. And we had a lively discussion. It’s his decision ultimately…

Mwambie awache kujenga nyumba kwanza…hiyo pesa aitumie kuship gari (am assuming ni pesa hana ndio maana anataka kuidrive all the way) which will mostly like not be allowed within Kenyan border

I’ve got a friend who lives in the UK and is planning to move back to Kenya. He’s some cash and wants to bring with him a used 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo. What would be the process of him being able to register his UK car in Kenya? Is that even possible?

He’ll start his journey from London and drive towards the channel tunnel into France. Then he’ll spend a month driving through France, towards Italy and then hop on a ferry to Greece where he’ll ship the car to Cyprus and then Egypt. From there he’ll drive down through Egypt and into Sudan, and then into Ethiopia and then into Kenya.

Is this a worthy adventure in trying to avoid taxes? or he’s better off importing the direct from UK into Kenya…

Wah na unajua barabara man… tell him to sheep it ata asi ship

Won’t be registered in Kenya but if it was at least 8 years or younger he would have it registered duty free otherwise KRA does not have duty guides for vehicles before 2012 and Lambos

I think the law should change here.

Because if someone is importing a 5.6l or 6l engines they should get exempted since the cars are performance vehicles.
