Episode 7: Retracing My Steps – Has the Road to Omalo Lost Its Wild Spirit? 🏔🚙
During this part of my off-road trip, I venture deep into a Juta valley that, nine years ago, forced me to turn back. In 2015, the road was wild, full of challenges, and nearly impossible to traverse—just like the road to Omalo, which proudly held the title of one of the most dangerous routes in the world. Now? Smooth gravel, widened turns, and even… stretches of concrete.
Is this still the same adventure? See for yourself, as I share both archival and recent footage.
