Something not right?

Description

Water about a meter deep across the road in March a couple weeks after the long rains started. We decided not to cross it in our Jeep Wrangler. We drove via Maralal up to Loiyangolani without a problem. We were trying to drive from there to Marsabit via Kalacha, but we turned around at this spot.

Latest Check-Ins

There was still 30 cm at the end of the dry season in September. Also a huge puddle just before was about 50 cm high at the deepest.
Funny enough in the dry, must be threatening in the wet.

Report Check-In

When every other river was completely dry, we didn't expect much. But this river is different we discovered. The water was about 60cm deep. There would have been a detour, which we couldn't take because of narrow and overhanging palm trees. So we drove through, foto added. It had rained a couple of weeks ago.

Report Check-In

On the drive up from South Horr all river crossings were completely dry except for a few small puddles. (several had small bridges but they were dry) so we decided to drive up. There is no bridge, but water in one small area was ~8cm deep and totally crossable.

Report Check-In

There is NO BRIDGE HERE! You must cross by the water.
