After 8 km you will see some signs marked Maiyan 9.8 km, Storms Resort and Enaii to the right, take this turning.  Follow the road, do not turn off it anywhere.  You will pass through 2 little villages, the first called Jua Kali and the next called Naibor (with speed bumps).  At the end of the tar continue straight onto the dirt road (ignoring a sign to the right to Dol Dol (D464).

You will go through Mogwooni Ranch, all electric fenced and then Ol Jogi Ranch.

After 49 km you will come to a fork in the road, keep left. 

After 50 km you will see a right hand turning, ignore this. 

After 60 km roughly you will see a big new sign on the right of the road, just go straight on, don’t turn right. 

After 66 km you will reach a concrete bridge over a dry river (most of the year). This is the only bridge after the Mpala bridge so you cannot go wrong. Don’t cross the bridge, immediately before the bridge you should turn right onto a bush track, then keep bearing right whenever you reach a fork and the road will take you up a hill. Over the brow of the hill you will see the camp.
