Northern Kenya

Situated away from the common tourist routes, this region offers a striking diversity of landscapes — from the expansive, alkaline Lake Turkana to the rugged topography of the Suguta Valley and Matthews Ranges

A journey to the Northern Frontier, however, is not merely an exercise in wildlife spotting, and to think otherwise is to miss the point. It provides an avenue for travelers to immerse in relatively uncharted territories and establish a deeper connection with indigenous cultures. It is an expedition tailored for the intrepid, those willing to forgo the commonplace attractions for something more substantive and off the conventional tourist trails.

In the backdrop of this diverse landscape lies the complex interplay of ethnic tension, particularly during droughts when water becomes a rare commodity, and grazing lands turn sparse. However, with a specialist guide who has an intimate knowledge of the region and its residents, the Northern Frontier opens up as an arena for a singularly enriching experience.

While daytime temperatures in the Northern Frontier are generally high, fluctuations do occur based on the specific region and the month of travel. The dry seasons, running from July to October and January to March, offer optimal conditions for wildlife viewing and are more conducive for various activities, including archaeological explorations around Lake Turkana.

Connectivity and logistics

The remoteness of the Northern Frontier makes private aircraft charters a popular option for travelers, especially when connecting different areas within the region. Helicopters offer another level of accessibility, unlocking corners of the landscape otherwise difficult to reach.
