Wow, this is great! Wish I could come , Just asking though, what is the correct way to view a solar eclipse? Do we expect to observe any thing unusual in the skies for those of us in Nairobi that wouldn’t be able to travel?
All the best in your trip.

Hash FYI: Sibiloi National Park is in Marsabit County and not Turkana County; In fact it looks like you are not in Turkana County at all unless if you are inside the Lake; according to this map: https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=Sibiloi+National+Park&data=!1m4!1m3!1d1771705!2d36.7108168!3d3.0017287!4m32!2m14!1m13!1s0x0%3A0x47e8d58f5d68631a!3m8!1m3!1d1771705!2d36.7108168!3d3.0017287!3m2!1i1366!2i667!4f13.1!4m2!3d4.0122198!4d36.3496399!5m16!2m15!1m14!1s0x182780d08350900f%3A0x403b0eb0a1976dd9!2skenya!3m8!1m3!1d22651601!2d-95.677068!3d37.0625!3m2!1i1366!2i667!4f13.1!4m2!3d-0.023559!4d37.906193

Turkana is the most beautiful place for those in the know. I started going there in 1979 when I discovered the ‘holy of holies’ the magical Ely Springs. One has not eaten fish until you try Lake Turkana Tilapia.
