From Baringo to Samburu along the Loruk Road

A saloon carefully driven if the weather is dry, otherwise a 4 wheel drive vehicle

 

This is a terrific drive and can be completed in about 5 hours. There is very little traffic and the scenery is superb. The impeccably dressed Samburu warriors encountered on the road are also a magnificent sight. The map reprinted above is quite accurate. Go to Loruk about 12 ks north of Kampi ya Samaki, and take a right turn along a gravel road towards the Police Post. Follow the road west through Tangulbei until you meet a T junction – right to Rumuruti or left to Maralal. Take the left and go in a northwesterly direction for a good 50 ks until you meet the C78 at another T junction. At this point go right in the direction of Womba. After travelling about 110 ks, before you actually get to Womba there is a turn right towards Isiolo, which you take. This road after about 50-60 ks meets the A2 about 30 ks north of Archers Post. Turn right here.
