8 Days Turkana Special

Overview

Embark on a unique 8-day safari exploring the rugged beauty and rich culture of Kenya’s Turkana region. Known for its stunning landscapes, historical significance, and diverse cultures, this adventure offers a deep dive into an off-the-beaten-path experience.

Start your journey in the vibrant town of Kitale before traveling to the remote Turkana County. Visit the famous Lake Turkana, often called the “Jade Sea,” known for its stunning turquoise waters and surreal landscape. Explore the region’s ancient archaeological sites and learn about the indigenous communities, including the Turkana people.

Along the way, enjoy game drives through the expansive savannas, where you can spot wildlife such as giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. The trip also includes visits to the Kalokol hot springs and cultural interactions with local tribes, giving you a unique insight into their way of life.

Conclude your safari with a visit to the Sibiloi National Park, where fossils dating back millions of years are found, and the remote desert landscapes offer a truly unique adventure.

This safari is perfect for those seeking an adventurous and cultural journey in Kenya’s less-explored northern frontier.
