Kenya Safaris Maralal Northern
Kenya Maralal is a frontier town, the beginning of the Great Northern wilderness and the staging post
for many great adventures. This simple town is a thriving centre for the local Samburu people, and the streets are always
busy with camels, passing warriors and traders. Beyond
Maralal lies some of Kenya’s most beautiful country. Here the broad arid plains give way to the spectacular Loroghi
Hills and the high, wild Matthews ranges. Dry river beds course through this land, and have become the tracks and routes of
nomadic camel trains. The wild country between Maralal and Turkana is ideal for the adventure seeker.
Here in these vast empty spaces, there is freedom to explore and lose yourself in the wild. Whether you want to take a truck
to Turkana or a camel through Samburu land, this is your starting point.
Getting
Around - Maralal is accessible from Nairobi via either Baringo or Isiolo, by either bus/matatu or private transport.
There is an airstrip servicing charter aircraft. Driving time from Nairobi is approximately 6 hours. Accessing the North from
Maralal can be difficult without private transport. Maralal is a good base for organized safaris.

Maralal Accommodation:
Maralal
Safari Lodge Maralal Safari Lodge is located 1km to the southwest of the town of Maralal in the northern frontier
district of Kenya.
This relatively simple and old fashioned lodge has eight of these large wooden rooms, with equally
imposing public areas situated around a waterhole within a small and rather productive game reserve. Maybe not somewhere you
would go out of your way to visit, but certainly a more than adequate stop on the road north and a great base if you are lucky
enough to be in town the first weekend in August for the camel derby. Contact us for Safari Booking to Maralal
