About Lake Turkana

The Jade Sea

Far northern Kenya, reaching north into Ethiopia

Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake, stretches across Kenya’s far north — a jade expanse ringed by volcanic desert, cradle-of-mankind fossil sites and the cultures of the Turkana, El Molo and Samburu.

It is a remote, elemental journey for the adventurous, rich in wind, light and human history.
