Buying unregistered land is risky

I intend to buy land upcountry during this Christmas holidays. Upcountry land is still largely more pocket-friendly compared to the popular one-eighth plots in Nairobi and its environs. However, my reservation is that most parcels of land on sale upcountry are either not registered or are ancestral land. What complications may arise when someone buys such unregistered property?
