Safari to Success - 1960

[@tomlepski8306]

I was a high school student at the time and visiting my father at a Sisal plantation in Fort Hall where he worked at the time. It was great fun watching these cars zoom past. There was a foreign photographer wearing an AGIP T-shirt with a picture of a six legged Lion and taking pictures of the cars with a Lubitell box Camera. He lined up the five of us lads and took some pictures as we waved the cars past, none of us ever saw the man again and neither did we ever see the pictures.

Could he be the one who was hit the by a rally car "at 100 miles an hour"?

Just found my Uncle mentioned in this race. Jeff Uren in an Anglia, I think he came 1st in his group. Lovely old film.

I was a primary school student and used to go and watch it around Voi wundhani and Taita district and it was so much fun

I like the way they shave the dirt to make a road.

FANTÁSTICO REGISTO MUITO OBRIGADO 😅😮❤

[@jereking254]

These drivers had the nerve!! No helmets, no safety belts no crash cage... and they survived accidents.

1st two minutes. What happened to our beautiful Nairobi. Now Nairobbery, is filthy, corrupt and full of crime. We used to ride our bikes in the suburbs, the same houses now have high fences, alarmed gated and armed security. Its a disgrace.

I can't imagine driving a rough course in Africa in an English car with Lucas Electrics and then finding the road flooded. Probably as perilous as driving in Africa today.
