8 Days Lake Turkana, Loiyangalani and Chalbi Desert

Day 1 - 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 Uaso
Nyiro River.

Day 2 - Samburu
The day is spent game viewing in the park. Elephants abound; you may see
lion, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, grevy's zebra and oryx.

Day 3 - 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 kudu as the lodge is situated on the edge of a
water-filled crater. As long as the park is dry we drive through thick
forest to the famous Lake Paradise. There are some very steep hills which
are impassable if wet.

Day 4 - 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 - 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 scorching 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 - Maralal
We journey via South Horr and Baragoi to Maralal, another forested area.
The Samburu abound in their red-ochre.

Day 8 - Nairobi
Heading south again via Laikipia Plains and Thompsons Falls (Nyahururu) we
drive back into Nairobi by mid-afternoon.
