8 DAYS TURKANA TRUCK VIA LAKE BARINGO

A long expedition in a purposely-built truck, this rugged l600km safari to vanishing Africa (tackles some of Africa's worst roads), crosses dusty deserts and high mountains and takes you to sparkling waters of the 'Jade Sea' - Lake Turkana.

DAY 3
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 the our traditional Turkana huts with a cool breeze blowing from the lake .Indeed a perfect place to relax protected from the scorching sun and heat characteristic of the harsh climate of this remote area.

DAY 4
We spend the day relaxing only interrupted by a short boat excursion to visit the surrounding areas where crocodiles and birds may be spotted.

Unforgettable experience.
