8 Hours Nature tour itinerary for Samburu: Lake Turkana By Helicopter

This is the ultimate overnight helicopter trip that you can do in Northern Kenya and comes with our highest recommendation. A total of 8.5 hours flying time, the majority will be on the first day.

From your lodge, we fly north-west over the Laikipia plains to Silale Crater for our first stop, continuing north through the Suguta, Hoodoo and Painted Valleys to western shores of Lake Turkana, where we will arrive at the private camp of Lobolo for lunch. 

In the afternoon, we will get airborne again for a stunning scenic flight along the southern shores of Lake Turkana, over LakeLogipi to see the mass of pink flamingo, and finally to the Suguta sand dunes for sundowners before returning to Lobolo for the night.

The following morning we will fly south over the Ndoto Mountains, and touch down on the summit of the Mathews Range to enjoy the views and the ancient cycads. There is an option to visit the Samburu’sSinging Wells in Namunyak Conservancy. 

Our final stop will be on the top of Lekuruki Hill - where we will get the most spectacular views over Samburu and Laikipia
