Does any of the readers have any idea about the location of Majoreni?

In 1914, there was a bold plan to conduct a raid against Mombasa with the support of the light cruiser SMS Koenigsberg. However, the navy was "elsewhere" and the raid only got a few kilometers beyond the border - until Majoreni

Afrikanische Fronten
Ostafrika: Botha wird britischer Befehlshaber in Ostafrika. Das an der Küste gelegene Fort Majoreni wehrt 300 deutsche Soldaten ab. Die Briten evakuieren dann aber nach Gazi, 40 km südlich von Mombasa (Ankunft am 26. September). Das deutsche Ziel ist es ab dem 29. September diesen Hafen zu erobern und zu zerstören, aber der erwartete Kreuzer Königsberg trifft nicht zur Unterstützung ein.

Methner described this in his book: "Unter drei Gouverneuren".

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for that.

I suspected Fort Majoreni near Mount Kilimanjaro as a defensive part around Taveta. (- -)

So far I hadn't heard of the name Majoreni and had to google again.

In four weeks I will look if I can find any remaining parts there.

We want to treat ourselves to some `equatorial sun´ again on the coast in East Africa at Christmas and New Year.
