Maralal
is a frontier town, the beginning of the Great Northern wilderness and
the staging post for many great adventures.
This simple town is a thriving centre for the local Samburu people, and
the streets are always busy with camels, passing warriors and traders.
Beyond Maralal lies some of Kenya's most beautiful country. Here the
broad arid plains give way to the spectacular Loroghi Hills and the
high, wild Matthews ranges. Dry river beds course through this land, and
have become the tracks and routes of nomadic camel trains.
The wild country between Maralal and Turkana is ideal for the adventure
seeker. Here in these vast empty spaces, there is freedom to explore and
lose yourself in the wild.
Whether you want to take a truck to Turkana or a camel through Samburu
land, this is your starting point....
Getting there: Maralal is accessible from Nairobi via either
Baringo or Isiolo, by either bus/matatu or private transport. There is
an airstrip servicing charter aircraft. Driving time from Nairobi is
approximately 6 hours.
