That iten-Karbarbet road would be an awesome road trip in a nice bike!

We only see dry Turkana in our media and of late oil rigs. We think backward and hungry when turkana is mentioned. Wish I can get a link for the show. BTW, isn't desert tourism an alternative form that we should be pursuing? The neighbouring Marsabit county is home to Chalbi desert-a true desert!

Stop thinking hunger and oil rigs when Turkana is mentioned. I wish there's a way I could get a linnk of that show you see the beauty of Turkana....BTW, shouldn't we be also propping desert tourism for the neighbouring Marsabit county's Chalbi desert?

Depending on where you come from you can try the Mt kenya circuit. Nyeri, Nanyuki/Laikipia, Meru, Isiolo got some lovely places to visit. The greatest act of bravery is chancing a fart while suffering from diarrhoea

Turkana was the first place I ever went on holiday, I have been hooked since. I still remember the moonlit nights from the Lake Turkana lodge. Those days it was unknown and we almost had the place to ourselves. "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

Looks nice. But why do many such places avoid putting accommodation/dining/tour prices on the website? However expensive it is, I think the pricing should be out there.. I wouldn't feel bad if i'm 'priced out.

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
