Overland Travel Across Borders: A Tale of Two Frontiers
Moyale Split Town Paved North Road in Cultural Melt
The 867-kilometer border between Ethiopia and Kenya is a remote and rugged frontier, a journey into a fascinating and culturally rich part of East Africa. For decades, this was one of the most challenging overland routes on the continent, but a newly paved highway has transformed it into an accessible, if still adventurous, journey.

The one and only official crossing is at the town of Moyale, which is split in two by the border. The “Great North Road” from Nairobi to Moyale is now paved, making the long journey much faster and more comfortable than in the past.
