1st - 15th July (15 d. / 13 n.) / TRIP COMPLETED

Ethnographic trip to Kenya to live with the nomadic tribes of the north of the country and enjoy a safari in search of the big 5 in Samburu National Reserve.

The trip will begin with a singular ethnographic route with the objective of knowing and living (camping in their villages) with the most remote and traditional tribes of Kenya. Semi-nomadic societies that survive in an arid, still untamed territory. From Nairobi to the remote north, on the border with Ethiopia, we will cross through different ecosystems that have conditioned and shaped its inhabitants.
After direct contact with these unique peoples of northern Kenya, we will enjoy a safari in search of the big 5 in the Samburu National Reserve (with more than 900 elephants!). The sighting of wild fauna is a unique experience.

This trip to Kenya is designed for intrepid travelers who love culture, tribes and nature. Throughout the trip we will travel in 4x4 4x4 vehicles and we will combine hotels, guesthouses and Catholic missions with camping nights in the villages.

Ethnic richness with powerful aesthetics

Turkana, Samburu, Dassanetch, Pokot, Maasai, Gabbra, Rendille, Yaaku and Molo are some of the ethnic groups that inhabit northern Kenya and make up an enormous cultural diversity. We will be surprised, despite the precariousness in which they subsist, the color of the traditional clothing and the sophisticated hairstyles and body adornments.

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.

Samburu Safari

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.

Ecosystem diversity

During the trip we will find endemic fauna, volcanoes, deserts, oases and lakes. We will cross the Chalbi desert and bathe in the legendary Lake Turkana.
