009: 7 NIGHTS 8 DAYS LAKE TURKANA VIA LAKE BARINGO AND TREKS
This special expedition is done in a purposely-built
truck 4x4 on rugged 1,600 km safari to Africa and 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 Baringo campsite.
Day
2: South Horr
Climb out of the Rift Valley in the morning chill towards Maralal
and the red-ochre 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 formerly Jade sea: 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.
