7 Nights 8 Days Lake Turkana
Via Lake Baringo
The expedition is in a purposely-built truck,
this rugged 1,600 km safari to vanishing Africa tackles
some of Africa’s worst roads, crosses dusty deserts
and high mountains and takes you to the sparkling waters
of the Jade Sea Lake Turkana.
Day 1: Lake Baringo: Depart Nairobi in the
morning stopping at the top of the world to view the great
Rift Valley. Lunch at Nakuru and arrive at Lake Baringo
late afternoon. Watch out for hippo while you shower. Overnight
at the campsite.
Day 2: South Horr: Cllimb out of the Rift
Valley in the morning chill towards Maralal and the red-ochred
Samburu people,who are still nomadic and proud. Then another
spectacular climb up Losiolo and down past Baragoi to South
Horr where we camp next to a small clear stream.
Day 3: Lake Turkana: Break early in the
morning for Lake Turkana. The rough road gets worse as we
descend across ancient lava flows towards the Jade Sea and
the Oasis Loiyangalani lying between the lake and Mt. Kulal.
We arrive at our permanent beach campsite just outside Loiyangalani
soon after lunch and settle in our traditional Turkana huts
with a cool breeze blowing from the lake. Indeed a perfect
place to relax protected from scorching sun and heat characteristic
of the harsh climate of this remote area.
Day 4: Lake Turkana: We spend the day relaxing
and bathing only interrupted by a short boat excursion to
visit the surrounding areas where crocodiles and birds may
be spotted. 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 5: Maralal: Up the Horr valley and back
to Baragoi, camping further South at Maralal.
Day 6: Samburu: We arrive at Samburu park
around lunch time and settle in our Permanent campsite beautifully
set under a canopy of trees on the edge of Uaso Nyiro River
.
Day 7: Samburu; A day game viewing in the
park. Elephants abound: you may see lion, reticulated giraffe,
gerenuk, Grey's zebra and oryx.
Day 8: Nairobi: The road back to Nairobi
passes over the high shoulder of Mt. Kenya. Lunch on the
way arriving in Nairobi by later afternoon
