TURKANA EXPEDITION (8 DAYS)
This
rugged 1,900 km expedition is usually done in a purposely-built truck
that takes you up into the heart of the Northern Frontier District.
You will traverse along some of Africa's most adventurous roads, see
beautiful mountain forest surrounded on all sides by hot dusty deserts,
eventually arriving at the Jade Sea (Lake Turkana). You will see a great
variety of tribes and cross the Chalbi Desert if dry. During the rains,
it becomes an enormous shallow lake.
Day
1 Nairobi - Samburu
Depart Nairobi in the morning heading north via the shoulder of Mt Kenya
to Samburu Game Reserve. Accommodation in our semi-permanent campsite
beautifully set under a canopy of trees or pitch tents on the edge of
Ewaso Nyiro River.
Day
2 Samburu
The day is spent game viewing in the park. Elephant abound; you may
see Lion, Reticulated Giraffe, Gerenuk, Gravy's Zebra and Beisa Oryx.
Day
3 Samburu - Marsabit
We head north again along the Trans-African highway to Marsabit, which
is an extinct volcano heavily, forested on its upper slopes. After setting
up camp, we will visit the lodge inside the National Park. You may see
Elephant, Buffalo and Greater Kudu as the lodge is situated on the edge
of a water-filled crater. We do not go further into the park as thick
forest hampers the progress of large vehicles and viewing is difficult.
Day
4 Marsabit - Kalacha
We visit Marsabit town and another volcanic crater before making our
way back into the desert and lava flows. We camp at Kalacha, a small
settlement on the edge of the Chalbi Desert.
Day
5 Kalacha - Lake Turkana
We depart early crossing the Chalbi Desert. The desert cannot be crossed
if wet but there are alternative roads around the North and South. We
arrive at our semi permanent beach campsite just outside Loiyangalani
soon after lunch. Here we have our traditional Turkana Huts with a cool
breeze blowing from the lake for use if available otherwise we pitch
tents in an alternative campsite. Indeed a perfect place to relax protected
from the searching sun and heat characteristic of the harsh climate
of this remote area.
Day
6 Lake Turkana
We spend the day relaxing and bathing only interrupted by a short boat
excursion to visit the surrounding areas. In addition, we visit Loiyangalani
and the community settled there, while in the evening we may visit one
of the Turkana Manyattas for traditional dances under a star-studded
sky at an extra cost if clients wish. Unforgettable experience.
Day
7 Lake Turkana - Maralal
We journey via South Horr and Baragoi to Maralal, Another forested area.
The Samburu abound in their red-ochre.
Day
8 Maralal - Nairobi
Heading south again via Laikipia Plains and Thomson's Falls (Nyahururu)
we drive back into Nairobi by mid afternoon. After arrival, you will
be transferred to the airport for your onward flight back home.
