1st - 15th July (19th Jul. with Lamu Island optional extension) / TRIP COMPLETED

In this fourth edition of the trip to Kenya, we would like to give it a new approach. Without abandoning the essence of the original ethnographic trip, we have added one game drive and an ending of charm at the paradisiac Lamu Island.
Following the philosophy of Last Places, "deeper and further", Eva Colomer will lead a group of intrepid travelers to go beyond the conventional routes, to a very little explored territory.
It is about starting with a unique ethnographic route, designed as a search, investigation and coexistence (camping in their villages) with the most remote and traditional tribes in the country: Samburu, Turkana, Rendille, Gabbra, Ilchamus, Pokot and the Mole. Semi-nomadic societies that survive in an arid, still untamed territory.
After the direct contact with these unique peoples of northern Kenya, we will enjoy a game drive in search of the big 5 in the Samburu National Reserve (with more than 900 elephants!). The sighting of wild fauna is quite an experience and will not leave us indifferent.
And to finish, we relax on the beaches of Lamu after having sailed in a dhow, their traditional boats.
Adventure is served!

The guide will be Eva Colomer, a graduate in anthropology from the University of Barcelona, a lover of Africa and a traveler with experience as a guide.

Ethnic richness

Turkana, Samburu, Dassanetch, Pokot, Maasai, Gabbra, Rendille, Yaaku, El Molo, etc. They are some of the ethnic groups that populate northern Kenya and make up an enormous cultural diversity.

Ornaments, necklaces and scarifications

Necklaces, earrings, anklets, headdresses, feathers, scarifications and more are what the different tribes use to identify themselves and at the same time to indicate the different vital states: married, single, warrior etc.

Diversity of materials and architectural styles

A quick glance at these constructions would lead us to a too simple conclusion: "They are just huts", we would think. But the truth is that these houses differ considerably from one tribe to another, and they are all very skillfully built in accordance with the climatic conditions and the natural materials available to them.

Safaris and beaches

Although it is not the primary objective of our trips, it should not be forgotten that Kenya has unique nature parks and game reserves that may well complement an ethnographic destination. It also enjoys a long coastline, and especially the Island of Lamu, of Swahili culture, with its world heritage capital according to UNESCO, gives it added value, especially to end a long trip on its white sand beaches.
