Eliye Springs Resort

Northern Kenya


For many years all that stood on the shores of Eliye Springs was the shell of an abandoned lodge, but it's been brought back to life by a German with a passion for Turkana. The resort has a mixture of self-contained rooms and traditional Turkana huts made of sticks. Camping is also available, as are meals.

The resort offers a variety of activities, such as big-game fishing, boat trips to Central Island or Sibiloi National Park, and aerial flights over Turkana country.
