Cold showers are available which are astoundingly refreshing in the hot, dusty climates.
Day 2 – Samburu National Park Tour
The day is spent game viewing in the park.
Samburu is part of a lava plain that includes a diverse landscape of red dirt, broken volcanic rock, thorn scrub, steep hills, dried river beds and rocky outcroppings, some large enough to be called mesas. This reserve is becoming one of Kenya's most customary stopovers after the Mara.
The region is home to the scarce Grevy’s zebra with huge fury ears, gerenuk antelope standing on hind legs to feed, Somali ostriches with distinct blue legs and the shy Oryx. Elephant and crocodile are cast iron sightings, excellent bird watching with frequent varieties of weaverbirds and the martial eagle. Leopard sighting is also a special trait here.
Day 3 – Marsabit
You will depart north again along the Trans-African highway to Marsabit (known as place of cold), a shockingly cool, green and hilly oasis rising high above the dry heat of the adjacent desert lands. The local Rendille and Samburu people in their bright red outfits, beads and earrings make it a exciting place.
Earlier than surroundings up camp, we visit the lodge inside the National park and as long as the roads are dry we impel to Lake Paradise and Little Lake. Here, an indigenous forest and a desert come together to create the most gripping landscape on earth. Elephants and greater kudu abound. The thick forest in the park is also home to a variety of birds.
Day 4 – Kalacha
We depart after an early hot cup of tea/coffee through the scenic landscape of the scorched north with views of pictures and hills. We arrive and camp at Kalacha, a small Gabbra conformity on the edge of the Chalbi Desert.
The Gabbra are an Eastern Cushite people linked to the Somali-Rendille in their historical origins in the southern Ethiopian highlands about AD 1000. The men wear traditional shorts and a blanket-cloak and the women wear a wrap-around and head cloth. They leave their lives as pastoralists, particularly attached to their camels.

It is encircled by volcanic rock and desert. We turn up at our semi - permanent beach village where we have our traditional Turkana Huts; making it a perfect place to relax, protected from the sizzling sun and heat characteristic of the climate of this remote area.
Day 6 - Lake Turkana
The day is spent relaxing and you may visit the local lodge to swim or hire a boat to visit the neighboring area at an extra cost.
In adding together, you may visit Loiyangalani and the community advanced there while in the evening visiting one of the Turkana Manyattas [optional] for traditional dances at an extra cost if clients wish. A memorable experience under a star studded sky so close you can exactly touch it.
Turkana, formerly L. Rudolf is now named after one of the tribes who live on its shores and it is in this area that Richard Leakey exposed the three million year old fossils of ‘Homo Erectus.’ This pre historic site is now known as the “Cradle of Mankind”. The Lake is also known as the “Jade Sea” because of its remarkable blue – green colour. This is a result of algae particles, which shift with changes of the wind and light, so that the water surface shifts from blue to grey to fabulous jade. The lake is harbours largest population of Nile crocodiles in the world. If the weather permits we take a short sunset boat ride to the adjacent areas.
Day 7 – Maralal

Maralal is the illegal capital of the Samburu people and has a markedly frontier feel about it, like something out of a ‘wild west’ movie. It boasts a colourful Samburu market and a game sanctuary that deceit just outside of town. Maralal is also home of the Maralal International Camel Derby that happens once a year between July and October and attracts riders and audience from the four corners of the world
