Day 1: Nairobi – Archer’s Post

Depending on the team members’ arrival time in Nairobi, we will set the exact meeting time and point for our departure. Your amazing local companion, Joseph, will pick you up and together, you will board the private 4×4 car to start this unique adventure! We will drive directly to Archer’s Post, a small market town in the Samburu County, just 9 kilometres away from the Samburu National Reserve. After a long route of about 330 km (~7 hours) we will reach Lion’s Cave campsite where we will spend the first night in double tents (dinner and breakfast included).

Day 2: Archer’s Post- Samburu NR – Sabache Εco Camp

Today we visit the Samburu National Reserve. No adventure in Northern Kenya is complete without a game drive in this beautiful park of 165 km2. Several large game species common to Kenya’s northern plains can be found in abundance here, including the following dry-country fauna: gerenuk, Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx and reticulated giraffe. All three big cats, the lion, cheetah and African leopard can also be found here, as well as elephants, Cape buffalo and hippopotamus. Our expert safari guide will make sure that you spot all the « big 5 » and many more animals! After our enjoyable safari-day in the park, we head to the nearby Sabache Eco Camp located at the foot of the sacred mountain of Samburu Mt O’lolokwe where we will spend the night in nature (private dormitory, dinner and breakfast included).

Day 5: Nachola

Today we will explore the area where one of the last indigenous and most interesting tribes of Africa live, the Turkana. We will wake up very early to visit a traditional village, interact with families and learn about their life and culture; one of the most immersive and impactful experience of your life. We will also have time to drive around and connect with nature in one of the most remote and wild areas of Africa. Overnight in the campsite (dinner and breakfast included).

Day 6: Nachola – Loiyangalani (Lake Turkana)

After an idyllic breakfast in the campsite, our adventure to the Lake Turkana begins! Words hardly describe the route to the Lake Turkana, the largest permanent desert lake in the world and an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sitting at the very northern end of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, Lake Turkana shimmers in the heart of an unreal, lunatic landscape with volcanic boulders, cinder cones, black sandy beaches and the world’s largest crocodile population intoits greenish water! We will spend the night in Loiyangalani, a tiny village in Lake’s eastern shore and a meeting point of the great northern tribes, Turkana, Samburu, Gabbra and El Molo. Overnight in a local lodge in single or double rooms (dinner and breakfast included).

Day 8: Loiyangalani – Karare

Waking up in the morning and departing from the Lake Turkana. Today, we drive towards Karare, a village in the Marsabit County. Our route will be exciting and eerie, as we will cross hundreds of kilometers through vast areas of desert. Thorny plants and flowers of the desert, golden-red sand and rocky formations, walking people in their traditional costumes compose the scenery that we will encounter passing through the villages of Kargi and Korr. Arriving in Karare, we will spend the night in an idyllic ecological campsite in the African savannah (double tents, dinner and breakfast included).

Day 10: Karare – Nairobi

Today we will start the long way back to Nairobi (540km / 9 hours).
