Personal highlights

  1. Kenyainfo-icon: confirming the chassis, but not engine number
  2. Ugandainfo-icon: using the logbook instead of Carnet de Passage
  3. Agents: hunting travelers like Hyenas to earn some money
  4. Paperwork: only 5 stations, done in a bit more than 1 hour
  5. Border: pretty much improvised and under heavy construction
