  Day 1 Lake Turkana
It’s a beautiful 120 minute flight north across the expanse of Kenya from Nairobi to Lake Turkana.

We land on the lake shore beach where we enjoy a delicious bush brunch and an opportunity to explore the Loyangalani Settlement. Strong winds blow constantly, temperatures soar well above 100F, and movements in the earth's surface are continually throwing up exposed sedimentary layers, many of which have preserved pre-historic fossils in a remarkably good state.
1 overnight Oasis Lodge
or
1 overnight Houseboat ‘Lokel’ (a basic but comfortable place to relax for intrepid travelers and enthusiastic anglers)

Days 2, 3 & 4 Lake Turkana
Lake Turkana, or the ‘Jade Sea’ as it is known, is an Anglers Paradise: 48 Species of fish are found in the lake of which a wide variety can be caught, Tilapia, Catfish, Tiger fish. Puffer fish and of course the King of Africa’s fresh water fish "The Nile Perch". Whether or not a keen Angler, once you have caught your first "Nile Perch" the fishing bug will have surely caught you.

The fish sustain an incredible Crocodile population of about 12,000 reptiles, the last and largest great population of saurians in the world who have remained largely unchanged for 130 million years - many exceeding lengths of 16 foot or more.
