Royal Tours To Africa
Kieth Dixon in his article “ Family holiday to the Jade Sea” is an inspiring experience worth noting. He describes it as follows: Forty eight cans of baked beans, six boxes of oranges, twenty five kegs of Tusker bear, thirty cases of UHT milk four 4* 4s, one trailer, three rubber duck boats, one speed boat, three wind surfers, two kayaks and a monster ten ton truck, two drums of diesel and fifteen drums of petrol, four families that is twenty people, one cook, three handy men one truck driver and a major expedition. Three dusty days from Nairobi and months of planning and preparation they reach the refreshing shores of Lake Turkana our African Safari is on course. They launch the speedboat and a small party goes north by water as the rest continue the 2hr drive past Loyangalani to ‘our’ beach. Hours are spent digging and pushing out the vehicles out of the sand and finally exhausted they rest watching the sun setting down hill. The camp is well organized fruit and vegetables are hung up in hammocks the keg is chilled and they relax into easy days of fishing, water skiing, swimming, walking, reading and sleeping out under the stars, hanging grimly to their sleeping bags in a windy tug of war and raising each morning with the early sun. An afternoon trip of volcanically sculpted south islands the thrill of catching a 30kg Nile Perch a total of 800 kg is caught most is given to the local Turkana people. Packing up is done in an afternoon, the lorry driven up the sand dunes in the cool of the evening. A final swim of yellow rocks and then homeward bound up the sun burned blackend steppe through Horr valley across the deserted Baragoi plains climbing uphill into Maralal and so back into civilization. This is definitely worth a try.
