Northern Kenya roadtrip: desert, tribes & orphaned elephants - Kenya EP4

In this episode, we embark on an epic overlanding adventure through the remote, untouched corners of Northern Kenya. Leaving Nanyuki, we head towards Marsabit, where we trade smooth asphalt for challenging dirt roads that lead us deeper into some of Kenya's most striking and sparsely populated desert landscapes. Along the way, we cross paths with traditional Samburu, Rendille, and Turkana tribes, each offering a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of this vast region.

Our itinerary:
• Day 1: Marsabit to the expansive Chalbi Salt Pan.
• Day 2: Chalbi Salt Pan to Kalacha, North Horr, and Lake Turkana.
• Day 3: Lake Turkana to Loiyangalani and South Horr.
• Day 4: South Horr to the remote oasis of Ngurunit.
• Day 5: A day spent in Ngurunit, exploring natural waterslides & pools.
• Day 6: Ngurunit to Log-Logo where we attend a Rendille cultural festival, before we continue to Sereolopi, just in time for the elephant feeding at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary.
• Day 7: Sereolopi to Wamba, Dol Dol, and back to Nanyuki.

This episode is filled with stunning desert landscapes, encounters with traditional tribes, and the pure thrill of driving off the beaten path. Join us on this fantastic roadtrip through one of Africa’s most remote regions!
