In what seems an expensive venture Musau says that it has costed him less than one million Kenya Shillings on fuel and other car-related expenditures.

However it has not been an easy venture as he has passed through numerous challenges in the eight months.

To reach Europe, Musau had to traverse South, Central, West, and North Africa.
