4 days · By road · Olorgesailie, Lake Magadi, Shompole Conservancy
Lesser-visited kenya · the southern rift
Two hours south of Nairobi and a world apart. Stone tools a million years old at Olorgesailie, flamingos on the pink soda lake of Magadi, and the Maasai-run Shompole Conservancy on the edge of Tanzania.
The signature moment: Flamingos lifting off the pink soda flats in the morning heat.
