From Baringo to Samburu along the North 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 7 hours. There is very little
traffic, you may see elephants and giraffe between the Mugi turnoff and the
Maralal turnoff 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.
Alternative Route to West Gate
of Samburu Park:
At Womba turn off, keep going straight direction
Archer’s Post for about 10 ks until you come to a village called LANGUSAKA.
About 1 k after village there is adrift (Langusaka River
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 traveling about 110 ks, you pass the Womba turn-off
and go straight one towards Archer’s Post. This road after about 50-60 ks meets
the A2 about 30 ks north of Archers Post. Turn right here.
