Road Travel Options
(with stop-over in Maralal)
by our partner Private Safaris

Nairobi > Maralal > Loiyangalani

As Chenevix-Trench, a colonial District Officer (DO) wrote memorably in his book, The Men who Ruled Kenya, "the North is another Place." Travelling up to the northern parts of Kenya is akin to travelling through an "Open Museum". It is a kind of a place that epitomises the notion of a "Museum without Frontiers." One cuts through a myriad of rich pastoralist culture and experiences a mosaic of modernity and customary lives which seem permanently entangled in a movement in either direction.

The Journey from Nairobi through Maralal, then to Marsabit and Loiyangalani, offers glimpses of the cultures of the pastoralist Borana, Turkana, Samburu, Rendille, Somali, Ariaal (a mixture of Rendille and Samburu), Gabra and the fisher-community of the El-Molo. The breath-taking landscape of grasslands, semi-desert scrub-land, hills and mountains dotted by herds-people tending to their precious cattle, goats, sheep and camels – a practice they have upheld religiously for thousands of years – adds to the spectacle of travelling to this "under-discovered" corner of Kenya.

The trip will include a Professional Guide who will give lecture on the way on various Anthropological aspects of northern Kenya, from history, cultures, language-groupings and the future and current state of pastoralism in the face of global environmental challenges.
