Kenya’s Wild and Arid North

Kenya’s wild and arid north is the ideal destination for those looking to really get away from it all. From the baking deserts and plains to the wild shores of Lake Turkana, this is adventure country. Lake Turkana, also known as the Jade Sea, is the world’s largest desert lake and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The region has a rich cultural heritage with approximately 14 local tribes. Travellers also have the opportunity to take a front row seat at Kenya's wildest race - the Maralal Camel Derby or visit the beautiful Samburu and Shaba National Reserves, home to many rare northern species.
