Excursions of a day

"Turkana Boy" site at Nariokotome and Central Island are two places that we can visit in Turkana lake as excursion days.

Day excursions around Turkana Lake

An early wake-up to enjoy sunrise and to have breakfast before you embark on your trip to visit “Turkana Boy” site at Nariokotome where it was discovered (nearly complete skeleton) by Dr. Richard Leakey. On your way back visit the ancient standing stones of Namorutunga (a sacred place for Turkana people), visit Ferguson Gulf, and Kalokol settlement to experience/witness the hectic life of the fishing community. The gulf is a birdwatcher's paradise: thousands of flamingos, pelicans, seagulls and other water-bird species.

An early wake-up-call with a cup of tea/coffee to enjoy sunrise before you embark on a morning walk along the beach to enjoy the view, the lake breeze, birds/bird’s-calling and Turkana community domestic animals coming down to quench their thirst.  Our precious, and proud to have, wildlife within Lobolo Camp include genet cats, ground squirrels, tree squirrels, hedge-hogs, hares, porcupine, monitor lizards, and cobras and carpet vipers. Our seasonal near by lagoon is a haven for flamingos, pelicans, herons, sacred ibis and many other water-bird species, the list is endless. Walk up to the cliff-top to enjoy the panoramic view of our natural doum-palm forest, over the lake and the far distance horizon, a view to behold.
