  It's a mission to reach but the views and the vibe make it worthwhile, right on the shores of majestic Lake Turkana. Sleeping on the shores of the lake under the stars. No WiFi or comforts, limited electricity. I had a fascinating chat with the German owner, who's been here from 2007 and battling with ever increasing water levels as the lake slower eats his resort. They are trying their best moving structures further up the bank.

  As you drive through the dusty thicket and shrubs..you get to see camels 🐫., ..doum palms as well locally know as Engo'l in Turkana. Lake Turkana is one of the cleanest lakes ... No pollution around the water bodied Prone to crocodiles...have a tour guide...if you wanna explore its deep ends.

  It is very sad to see this resort being damaged beyond repair by rising lake levels. It is still just about functioning and it's clear that the team are struggling to keep up with keeping the place in order with all the destruction, trying to move some accommodation up the bank - successfully. Nonetheless there is a feeling of chaos in the resort, with broken, rusted and neglected objects lying around in every corner. It might be hard to stay on top of this but they are still trying to charge for the same experience as it was five years ago, and by the end of the stay I felt the prices were not sustainable. The prices for the manyattas are great but food, drinks and excursions are overpriced for what you get.

  This is a very remote place but the joy when you arrive and get to see the lake is immense. Lovely hosts, delicious food and breathtaking views of lake Turkana make this place very special. A truly unique experience in Kenya.
