Untamed Beauty

Isiolo's landscape is a tapestry of rolling hills, volcanic peaks like the majestic Shaba Hill, and vast plains dotted with acacia trees.

Birdwatchers will delight in over 400 species, including the vibrant lilac-breasted roller and the majestic bateleur eagle.

Thrilling Adventures

Embrace your inner explorer! Hike through pristine wilderness, following ancient elephant trails or scaling scenic viewpoints. Kayaking on the Ewaso Ng'iro river promises sightings of hippos and crocodiles, while camel safaris offer a traditional way to traverse the sand dunes.
