Flying via helicopter is the ideal way to see the untouched mountains and plains of Northern Kenya. On this 2 day, 1 night trip you fly to remote places and see landscapes that few people have seen.
Your first day you fly to the forested summit of the Mathews - amazing islands of forest in a sea of desert, where giant and ancient cycads grow in abundance, and fly over the remote heart of Samburu country and land by the ‘Singing Wells’ where Samburu herdsmen draw water for their livestock. Ending your day, you arrive at the private retreat on Lake Turkana. Set on the western shore of Lake Turkana in a 100-acre palm oasis between Ferguson’s Gulf and Eliye Springs.
Day two takes you to the rim of Silale Crater - a vast caldera carpeted with green shrubs and open grasslands, and through the wild and spectacular changing landscapes of the Suguta. Here the landscape is constantly changing - desolate salt plains, lava flows and crocodile pools, through the colorful ‘painted’ valley where layers of mineral-rich red and orange rock features are heavily eroded and cut through by the seasonal streams. Discover the dramatic ‘hoodoo’ valley which is characterized by impressive rock formations protruding several hundred feet from the valley floor, home to troops of olive baboon and the stately greater kudu antelope. Touch down on the sand dunes: spectacular and constantly changing due to strong winds.
