The Africa you won't see on TV - Post #7; Unlimited beaches - Beach #2

This is a very important place to me, and it always gives me so much joy talking and writing about it. You’ve probably seen parts of Kenya where people starve, sometimes to death. Whereas most of the times it is blown out of proportion, there is some truth to it.

Writing about Turkana’s beautiful side does not mean I am ignorant of her realities. Far from that, highlighting her strengths will help deal with the problem of poverty. Of course that’s a different issue all together since no matter what the case is, no one should be starving to death in this time and era.

I will do a comprehensive post on what this place did to me; it remains the most sobering trip I have ever done.

Her beaches!

There’s so much to Turkana that the place deserves its own series. For now though, the Africa you won’t see on TV one will suffice. BTW never has this series meant so much than now.

So here we go:

Lake Turkana is the largest permanent desert lake in the world. How huge is that! Of course I’m trying to be punny 😂😂

There are lots of fish there, and another section has crocodiles. Possible activities there could include swimming, boat riding, and camping on the beach.

Let’s talk about the beach. Not many lakes have beaches, but here we go >>

The best sunrise I've ever seen, so we played!

We camped there and it is legit one of the most amazing experiences I ever had. Guys who understand stars had a field day since they were very elaborate, unlike what we have in the cities. The breeze is just enough to revolutionize your life.

These are images from only one beach in the area. In my next post, we will visit the islands. Prepare to be awed 😉

Pointers:

You could fly there or take the road. Most of the roads are in good condition.
It's very hot
The place is safe.
They treasure visitors
Phone reception is limited; take advantage of this if you know what I mean.

At the beginning I said that this region is very important to me. The logic is: if tourism improves there (they currently receive VERY few guests), the locals will get meaningful employment, trade will flourish, the economy will grow, and people will not lack food. See?

Here's a fishing net for no reason 😎

If and when you visit Kenya, don’t miss out on this experience. Thank me later.

Hope you enjoyed the post. Need to catch up on the series? Here are quick links for you only 😊
