Lake Turkana South

Set amidst vast desert landscapes Lake Turkana itself appears as a miracle, a shimmering jade-green sea which stretches beyond the horizon to the north.
The lakeshore village of Loyangalani is home to the El Molo people. Kenya's smallest ethnic group, these hardy fishermen cling steadfastly to a rather tenuous existence.
On the lake, South Island is a protected reserve, a rather inhospitable place which provides a breeding ground for crocodile and a home for several species of venemous snake including puff adders and cobras. An interesting if rather specialist place to visit.
We tend to visit this area as a flying excursion from either Desert Rose Lodge or Kalacha Camp to the south and east respectively.
