During Christmas, Kachumbari went to shags and he decided to drive instead of fly. He stopped at a few places as he traversed the country, writes TETI KAMUGUNDA.

He this went across the whole country and took about four days to make the trip with Mama Watoto and the sprogs. The key consideration was that the attention span of the sprogs was very short and they needed regular diversion to keep them engaged and also to tire them out. The stop overs were in Tsavo, Nairobi, Narok and Kisumu.
