Я была с подругой в феврале-марте 2010 года по маршруту: Найроби, Самбуру (2 ночи), Марсабит (1 ночь), Калача - на краю пустыни Чалби (1 ночь), Туркана (2 ночи), Маралал (1 ночь), Найроби. Поездка была изумительная. Собиралась написать отчет, но все как-то не получается.
Ездили с Gametrackers

Кенийское музейное сообщество планирует в декабре поездку на Туркану, Koobi Fora и Ileret, я записалась, но состоится ли она? В Исиоло и Туркане в последнее время очень неспокойно - вооруженные нападения, убийства. Местные пошаливают, да и из Южного Судана тоже. Выдержка из сообщения нашего отдела безопасности:
"Turkana District On 13 October at about 1400hrs, in Kainuk, along Kitale – Lodwar - Lokichoggio highway, 2 armed highway bandits were arrested by Kenya Police Reservists on patrol. The bandits had flagged down an oncoming truck enroute to Kitale from Lodwar when KPRs confronted them. They were disarmed and handed over to Kainuk Police.
On 14 October at about 1645 hours, 7 armed Toposa raiders from South Sudan attacked and shot dead a Turkana herdsman in Lokichoggio, 2km from the Loki Police Station.
Isiolo District Tension remained high in Isiolo due to a general fear of retaliatory attacks by Borana and Turkana communities in an ongoing conflict over resources. The most affected areas are within Isiolo North and East. Fourteen people have so far been killed in retaliatory attacks. Transportation between Isiolo - Archers post section has as a result been severely affected. Roads in the area have on a number of occasions been barricaded by hostile protesters thus rendering them impassable.
· On 13 October 2011 in Malbe Shilmi near Shaba hills a herder was shot dead and another sustained gunshot injuries.
· On 14 October 2011 at around 1800 hours in Lesosia a Borana driver was ambushed and shot dead by suspected Turkana assailants. At the time of incident he was being escorted by police officers and they were heading to Isiolo town.
· On 14 October 2011 at around 0400 hours in Tractor village within Ngaremara seven people were shot dead. As a result the locals protested by blocking Isiolo - Archers road. Barricades were erected and the area was no go zone for vehicles for two days, thus paralyzing transportation.
· On 15 October 2011 in Shaba within Ndomoruu area two herders were killed in what appeared as a retaliatory attack.
· On 18 October 2011, three more people were killed and four others injured as violence in Isiolo escalated on Tuesday. Heavily armed raiders reportedly teamed up with bandits from Isiolo Town and attacked Garbatula herders at Malbe Shilmi near Shaba Hills in Igembe North District.
И на Индийском океане свой закончила (?) поход.
