Tour Details

The north is BIG and very beautiful, vast and magnificent. Getting yourself to the desert country that is Northern Kenya is no mean feat. The land is hot, parched and broken by volcanic activity where ancient blackened lava flows and endless thorn trees stretch from horizon to horizon. The journeys experience is part of the destination and it’s only by taking the long difficult road that a real sense of remoteness is gained. The trip winds through some beautiful countryside, and travelers invariably encounter Rendille camel trains, and pass by tiny villages and nomadic encampments along the way.
