Hey Ginger,
If you are trying to avoid the Moyale-Marsabit route to find a better road, Lake Turkana isn't the way to go. It's rideable and a grand adventure but pretty remote and you would have to carry a lot of extra fuel as there is very little population. The most practical way to do it is to latch on with a 4x4 who is intending on going that way and is willing to carry some of your weight. Riding it solo would be a tough go and probably not recommened. You have to check out of customs in Nairobi and into Ethiopia after you cross the border in Omerate. There is a small shack at the border but it is more of a checkpoint than a customs office. Hope that helps.
