The Lake Turkana Festival is one of the cultural highlights on Kenya’s calendar. Fourteen communities in this remote corner of the world coming together to celebrate their differences - don’t you want to be a part of that?!

(TRAVPR.COM) KENYA - April 29th, 2016 - The Lake Turkana Festival has been an annual event on the Kenyan calendar for seven years, attracting more people each year, both from the local communities and visitors.  Make this year your year to come and help the local economy, engage with communities, and support cultural traditions at this spectacular festival in one of the most remote corners of the globe.

OTA is leading a tour to the Lake Turkana Festival between 17 and 26 May 2016.  The tour will travel from Nairobi to Thomson’s Falls (http://www.itravel.net/travel-blogs/eastern-africa/thomson-s-fall-kenya), Maralal, Loyangalani (the venue for the Festival), Marsabit and Samburu National Reserve (https://www.safarious.com/en/posts/10391).  Travelling in a comfortable safari vehicle fit for photography, game viewing and touring, this is a camping trip accompanied by an experienced driver/guide and a cook.

Francis Wamai, Founder and Director of OTA, says: “The Turkana Festival is special, giving opportunities to learn more about the cultures of people in the Turkana region. Also it’s so nice to see the lake itself in Northern Kenya, which is mostly a large desert!”
