Join us for the newly developed 4 Days Lake Turkana Safari, starting from Moroto town. Explore one of Kenya’s wildest places, marvel at vast volcanic calderas and the Lake Turkana, the rich cultural heritage of the Turkana people and visit the fishermen at the palm beach shore of the lake. This is the absolute off-the-beaten-track culture and adventure excursion in East Africa on a journey through Karamoja in Northeastern Uganda.
Lake Turkana sits at the very northern end of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, it shimmers in the heart of an otherworldly landscape that would look more at home on the Moon than planet Earth. Lake Turkana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest alkaline lake in the world, and the largest lake of any kind in a desert.
Northern Kenya is remote, and undoubtedly difficult to get to – the best way is probably from Uganda’s Northeastern Karamoja sub-region – rewarded by visions of one of the most intense and untamed areas left in Africa.
Central island National Park is made up of three active volcanoes that belch sulphurous smoke and steam. There are three crater lakes, Flamingo Lake, Crocodile Lake and Tilapia Lake, that provide breeding grounds for world’s largest concentration of Nile crocodiles.
Lake Turkana has a desert climate and rainfall is very low. Roads can be blocked-off by seasonal rivers for a duration of a few hours up to a few days when it does rain. The scenery is most stunning after the rains, which peak in April and November.
– A night bush camp (homestay) with the Nomadic Turkana Cattle Keepers
– Scenic drive through the desert landscapes
– Visit the palm beaches and fishermen on the shore of Lake Turkana / Jaded Sea
