The route
Highlights include:
Extensive wildlife viewing experiences through Samburu, Shaba, Marsabit and Lake Nakuru National Parks/Reserves
Lake Turkana, the Jade Sea, is one of the most remote and least visited regions in Kenya and the largest desert lake in the world
The remote Mathews Range boasts stunning landscapes with rolling hills, lush forests, dramatic peaks and home to a diverse array of wildlife, including rare and endemic species
South and North Horr, home to the Rendille people, a semi-nomadic ethnic group known for their rich cultural heritage
Rift Valley is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, characterised by dramatic escarpments, volcanic peaks, and expansive plains
Although mostly a camping based adventure, there are 8 nights of accommodation included along the route and we will be travelling in “camper-style” fully equipped 4x4s
We travel anticlockwise through Northern Kenya. This is not your typical “Kenya Safari”. This is an expeditionary style adventure and the route is remote with tourists rare along many of the roads and tracks we explore.
This is an exploratory adventure, so you must be prepared for the unexpected and be flexible as plans may not go to plan or may change due to current local or weather conditions.
