Description:

Lake Logipi Expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! Nestled in the heart of Kenya's untamed wilderness, this journey promises to redefine your idea of exploration. Brace yourself for brutal roads, unforgiving terrain, and scorching heat as we push the boundaries of adventure.

Overview:

Prepare to see an ethereal realm where active volcanoes paint the horizon, and black lava flows carve new paths. You will get to witness Kenya in the act of formation, a hidden world hemmed in massive volcanic mountains, with Mt. Nyiro, Telekis Volcano and the Barrier volcanic complex standing as a foreboding sentinel, separating Lake Turkana from the enigmatic Lake Logipi and the mysterious Suguta Valley. Four shield volcanoes, including the youthful Kakorinya (last erupted in 1921), dominate the landscape, creating a geological wonderland.
