👉🏼👉🏼Service and repair your car thoroughly and in good time. Any vehicle that breaks down shall either turn around to get looked at, or be helped to the nearest town where it can get mechanical help. It shall afterwards catchup with the convoy where it will have reached. 👉🏼👉🏼Service your AC in good time especially if you intend to travel with kids. The region and the routes are hot, humid and dusty with highs of up to 40 degrees Celsius in some places and if you keep your windows open while travelling in a convoy, a lot of the dust will get inside. 👉🏼👉🏼Tire tread should be at a minimum of 80% tread depth to prevent punctures. Newer tires are much less likely to get punctured or torn and you will only need one spare if your tires are newer. The roads have many washouts, dry river crossings, corrugations, gravel and small stones plus the extra weight of passengers, water, fuel etc. that can lead to tires being placed under great stress and more likelihood of punctures. 👉🏼👉🏼A good suspension system (which includes shocks and coil springs) will keep the vehicles well balanced on the tough Northern Kenya Roads with their extra loads. 👉🏼👉🏼 Ensure your 4x4 system is working and your locking hubs are functionals. Also check that your cooling system is working well. Faulty cars pose a very grave risk to their owners and passengers. 👉🏼👉🏼 Check, inspect, test, repair and replace any worn hoses, belts, starter, alternator, there are no oil leaks or worn oil seals etc. 👉🏼👉🏼 CARRY A SPARE CAR KEY!
