Robert’s Mobile Camp (Porr Hill)

Lake Turkana, also known as the Jade Sea, is the world’s largest permanent desert lake. The area is wild in character, with its parched volcanic beaches, granite outcrops and remoteness.

Porr Hill is a rocky peninsula on the shoreline about 30 km north west of Loiyangalani. It is within striking distance of the festival while allowing the clients some privacy and access to the lake for fishing and exploring.

Activities at the lake include: Fishing, and (with a helicopter) visiting fascinating rock art sites, searching for semi-precious stones and exploring Koobi Fora, the cradle of mankind, to see the world-famous fossil sites.

The mobile camp is practical whilst at the same time being extremely comfortable. The large bedroom tents are specially designed for hot weather use, with sides that roll up to allow breezes to flow through. Each tent is fully furnished, with comfortable beds and Egyptian cotton linen, and an en-suite bucket shower and flush loo. The mess tent is spacious and perfect for dining and relaxing. Solar power allows for chilled drinks (essential in this hot climate) and charging electronic gadgets. The camp is fully staffed and delicious meals (to the clients specifications) are organised by the specialist mobile camp caterer.
