It went south then left the main road at Log-Logo. I was expecting to go via South Horr but somehow we didn’t. I was following our progress on google maps and was surprised to see that the bus did not follow what looked like the main road on google.

Asante sana, EddyV.
The new Lake Turkana Wind Power Project road is very unlikely to be on Google. It is likely to be on Tracks4Africa, but I haven’t yet checked. From my Kenyan contacts, it seems to join the Maralal-Baragoi-Loiyangalani road just north of South Horr.
For your information, we were last at Lake Turkana in 2014 when we drove down from Ethiopia (and the UK) - this was my third trip to the Jade Sea.
There are still many, many luggas to cross which will always make the former Northern Frontier District a challenging place to travel through.
Best wishes.

Btw, I got 'trapped' there for 4 days with heavy rains, the whole valley around it was flooded, it was great fun driving in the mud!
I was solo and didn't feel it was very remote, I bumped into quite a few locals, they are amazing walkers and various policemen (camped for a night with them, had snakes in their roofs) park staff and the western priest at the ministry in Iliret etc. They had good recovery gear and vehicles etc

Slightly off topic, so please ignore if this is unwanted. @Roamingyak: I found South Omo and the lake Turkana route quite remote to say the least. More so than Hoanib, Van Zyl’s pass, etc. As I adore remote areas, I would much appreciate if you could share some places which you find really remote. Thanks

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
