Kenya is famous for its iconic safari destinations like Maasai Mara and Amboseli, but the northern region of Turkana offers a unique and less-explored travel experience.
Turkana, often referred to as Kenya’s “cradle of mankind,” is rich in archaeological sites, including the famous Turkana Boy fossil. Visitors can explore the stunning landscapes of Lake Turkana, the world’s largest permanent desert lake, known for its striking jade-green waters and vibrant sunsets.
Turkana provides an opportunity to engage with the local Turkana community, known for their distinctive culture and traditional practices. Travelers can visit local villages, participate in cultural ceremonies, and purchase unique handmade crafts.
For adventure seekers, Turkana offers activities like fishing, bird watching, and exploring the Central Island National Park, home to crocodiles and various bird species. The rugged terrain is perfect for off-road expeditions and camping under the stars.
