Ethiopia, Kenya & Tanzania have been experiencing large storms and heavy rains over the last few weeks that have created landslides and flooding in some areas which has delayed me leaving Addis.
When I do finally leave Addis I have a 444nm journey south to the border, into Kenya by lake Turkana (also known as lake Rudolf) and onward to Lokichogio (a remote airfield in North Kenya on the border with South Sudan). I have to be realatively certain I will make Lokichogio as there are few diversion airfields and if I do need to divert in Ethiopia due to bad weather I will have to truck fuel from Addis to the airfield I have landed at, refuel, fly back to Addis and start again as Addis Adaba is the only entry/exit airport in Ethiopia.
