7 Nights 8 Days Lake Turkana
safaris 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
