4 Nights, 5 Days Northern Kenya
Samburu
1 / 3


Five days overland through Kenya's arid north, Marsabit, Chalbi Desert, and Lake Turkana.
This 5-day, 4-night adventure travels deep into the northern region of Kenya, one of Africa's last true frontier landscapes. Marsabit and Samburu are known for their arid beauty and distinctive wildlife, and this overland route connects them through some of the most remote terrain on the continent. The journey passes through the Chalbi Desert via Kalacha and North Horr before reaching Loiyangalani on the eastern shore of Lake Turkana, the Jade Sea. The route concludes through Ngurunit in the Ndoto Mountains, bringing you through a remarkable diversity of landscape, people, and wildlife that few visitors ever experience.
