ITINERARY 2012

AREAS TO BE COVERED

As mentioned previously TAG - ALONG will have a set itinerary for each year. 2012 Itinerary will cover Naivasha, Nakuru and Baringo. As much as possible of the above route will be done avoiding major highways and tar roads. We will be happy to get any new ideas from the participants for the years to follow. We are already working on a 2013 itinerary and know that it will be even more exciting than the 2012 one. Our plans in the future are to cover Nanyuki, Laikipia, Aberdares, Amboseli and Tsavo just to name a few. We are keen and dedicated to all participants and will make sure to inform them of future upcoming trips. We are also looking at forming a 4x4 club where all the members will get discounts in camping stores and vehicle accessory stores making TAG - ALONG the first off road family oriented club.
