What to do in Lake Turkana

In a destination so remote that the preferred mode of transport is a helicopter, a journey to Lake Turkana promises a good helping of adventure. Putter across its waters on a boat ride, where you can spy Nile crocodile, battalions of hippo and islands covered with flocks of birdlife. You’ll have the chance to explore its surreal surroundings and the lakeshore by 4x4, or join members of the Samburu tribe on fascinating guided walks and camel expeditions. You can also ascend volcanic cliffs to discover the area’s ancient rock art.
