North Kenya and Omo Valley Adventure

Led by top guide, Steve Carey, this adventure takes you through the heart of North Kenya and into the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, allowing you to explore the cultures and incredible terrains through Turkana and onwards.

***THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME GROUP TOUR WITH ONE DEPARTURE: 27 SEPTEMBER 2025**

Embark on the ultimate adventure through East Africa's wildest frontiers on our extraordinary Lake Turkana holiday. Led by legendary safari guide Steve Carey, you'll experience the raw, untamed beauty of northern Kenya and Ethiopia's Omo Valley like few have before.

This once-in-a-lifetime Turkana vacation takes you from the wildlife-rich savannas of Laikipia to the otherworldly Chalbi Desert and breathtaking Lake Turkana shores. Base yourself at our exclusive Turkana Safari Lodge in Sibiloi National Park to explore by boat, 4x4, and on foot. Encounter the ancient Dassenach tribe, fossil hunt, fish, and spot iconic wildlife.

What is most remarkable about this adventure is that we believe you'll be among the first group of adventurers to cross from Kenya into Ethiopia's incredible Omo Valley at this specific location. Spend three days immersed in the traditional cultures of over 20 indigenous tribes virtually untouched by the modern world. Your Omo Valley tour promises a mesmerizingly unique journey.

With a team of seasoned explorers ensuring your comfort and safety, this isn't just a Turkana group tour, it's an expedition for the daring few. From navigating 4x4s in driving safaris to camping under starry East African skies, you'll experience the romance of the Golden Age of exploration.

Spaces are extremely limited for this boundary-pushing Kenya and Ethiopia tour visiting Sibiloi National Park. Don't miss your chance to join Steve Carey and our Far & Wild pioneers - book your bucket-list Lake Turkana holiday today!

January

January in Ethiopia is all about Timket, an annual Christian festival being celebrated throughout the country. It's a spectacular sight to behold. Check out our Timket tour for more information. Temperatures are pleasant at this time of year so it's a great time for touring around much of the country.

Expand

February

February marks the end of winter in Ethiopia, so if you're travelling to the highlands pack a few extra layers as it can get cold at night.

Expand

March

Temperatures begin to rise in March, making trekking in the Simien Mountains and exploring Lalibela great options this month. There are occasional rain showers but nothing that will really disrupt activities. It's wet in the Omo Valley region between March and June, with muddy roads disrupting travel in this area.

Expand

April

April is the start of the short rains, which begin in the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia.

Expand

May

The rains arrive in the Bale Mountains National Park and the Rift Valley Lakes during May and June, so this isn't a great time for hiking in these areas. However the downpours are usually in the afternoons, leaving the mornings with blue sunny skies, and plenty of opportunity to explore the rest of the country.

Expand

June

The rains continue, which make this a great time for the breeding season of migratory birds, with numerous colourful species to keep an eye out for.

Expand

July

The wettest months in the northern and central highlands are July and August. The short heavy storms mean this isn't a good time for hiking in the Simien and Bale Mountains, but the downpours don't really disrupt activities throughout the rest of the country. It's a good time to visit Lalibela which will be less crowded than during the rest of the year.

Expand

September

Whilst the beginning of the month will see the tail end of the rainy season, it's actually quite a good month to travel around Ethiopia, just before peak season kicks in, and whilst the country is still green and beautiful. If you want to see the carpets of yellow Meskel flowers, or witness the colourful Meskel Festival, this is the month!

Expand

October

October is the start of the peak tourist season in Ethiopia, bringing with it great weather, pleasant temperatures, blue skies and little rainfall. A perfect time for touring around the country, particularly the Central Highlands and Northern Ethiopia.

Expand

November

The cooler temperatures and little rainfall during November and December make them great months for exploring the Omo Valley, with better road conditions and green landscapes.

Expand

December

The good weather and travelling conditions continue through December and into January, making this an ideal month to explore the whole country.
