Willing and able to go off the beaten path
I contacted 6 safari operators looking for a trip to Lake Turkana. I was grateful that Alfahama responded. The other operators either didn’t respond or offered packages that did not go where & when I wanted to go.
Alfahama sent a very capable guide, Mr. Juma, and an exceptional driver Mr Faruk. There were a couple of unexpected challenges - a heavy rainstorm closed the normal road and some tribal fighting created a bit of local tension. However these capable guys smoothly navigated both literal and figurative bumps in the road and got me to Lake Turkana. It was well
worth the effort.
If I were to fault Alfahama it’s in one primary area - communications. Fault was at least part mine. I didn’t communicate my minimum standards and they didn’t communicate how poorly Loiyangalani (the town I visited) is set up for tourism. They themselves were not entirely prepared, taking me on an 8 hour drive over unsealed roads & tracks with only water and no food prepared for the ride. Still I would do the trip again with Alfahama and thank them for accommodating me.
