About Sibiloi National Park
Set on the wild and rugged shores of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, Sibiloi National Park is a remote wilderness gem that invites discovery through adventure and outdoor exploration.
Known the Cradle of Mankind, the park is also surrounded by the Dassanach, Turkana, Elmolo, and Gabra communities — custodians of rich and largely unpolluted traditional cultures that add living heritage to the landscape. Anchored by globally significant archaeological sites such as Koobi Fora, where fossil discoveries have transformed understanding of human evolution, Sibiloi offers a powerful blend of natural wonder and cultural depth. Visitors can encounter remarkable prehistoric remains, including fossils of a three-million-year-old giant tortoise, ancient crocodile species, and other primeval creatures dating back millions of years — adding depth and intrigue to every safari.
By day, Sibiloi’s dramatic desert-meets-lake landscapes provide restorative adventure and wellness safaris through open plains and shoreline vistas. By night, the park’s vast skies create exceptional conditions for astro tourism and guided night wildlife safaris, revealing constellations above and nocturnal life below in one of Kenya’s most untouched environments.
Sibiloi is also a biodiversity stronghold, hosting the world’s largest breeding colonies of Nile crocodiles, 47 fish species (seven of which are endemic), and an Important Bird Area (IBA) supporting thousands of migratory and congregatory birds.
Sibiloi National Park blends ancient heritage, dramatic landscapes, star-filled skies, and immersive wilderness experiences — offering visitors a rare journey through time, nature, and adventure in Kenya’s northern frontier.
