This eight day safari will take you to Lake Baringo, South Horr and
onwards to the jade green and untouched Lake Turkana.The journey will
be in a purpose-built truck tackling the slightly rough roads, crossing
dusty deserts and high mountains.
8 Days /7 Nights Lake Turkana /Baringo:
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's while you shower overnight at the campsite.
Day 2: South Horr
Climb 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.
