I have several though the one that will stick forever was away in the Sahel. Was on a fact finding mission kwa ground so flying was out of the question. It was a movement involving quite a number of international agencies from Duentza to Kouriome near Timbuktu. Mind you this was katikati ya Sahara desert. We got to a point tukaambiwa roads had been mined by ISIS affiliates, the Katibat Macina. We had to disembark and walk the distance. Covered around 38km in two days with temps averaging 51°C. We didn't just miss the vehicles but also the ACs in them Land Cruisers. I think I shedded over 8 kilos. 1.5 litres of water tulikua tunagulp like it was a 50ml satchet of Marycane. After crossing the expansive Niger river ndio tulirudi kwa magari. I really pitied the drivers coz they had to drive upfront pekeyao. Those ones walikua wamepeanwa.
