The Chalbi Desert is a small desert near the Southern border of Ethiopia between Mount Marsabit and Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. The word Chalbi means a bare, salty place in the language of Gabbra pastoralists who inhabit this part of Kenya. The temperature conditions of Chalbi Desert vary from over 36°C during February, the hottest month, to as low as 18°C during July, the coldest month. Temperatures are very high during the day and get extremely chilly at night. With a singular goal in mind, we met in Nairobi Central Business District (CBD) at 4:30A.M to start the adventure with Lalibela Tours and Travel. Destination? Chalbi desert and Loyangalani. It’s a 7 to 8 hours drive from Nairobi. There will be lots to see and experience on the road trip; views of Mount Kenya, the yellow-filled canola and wheat fields in Timau, the mighty Ewaso Nyiro River, Mt. Ololokwe, and Moile Hill, among others Our first scenic stop was Mt. Ololokwe. This majestic mountain gives one a beautiful backdrop, whichever angle is shot, its majesty comes through! We were not in a hurry to leave so we spent quite some time here enjoying the scenery. After 45 min we en route to Chalbi Desert. On our way we were happy to see Lake Turkana wind power project – the huge towering windmills remind one of Ngong hills. Meticulously planned and arranged, these mills feed off the fast-blowing wind that is equally refreshing. Finally, our journey lead us to a beautiful oasis at the edge of the Chalbi desert. The vast landscapes and open desert will amaze you. The crossing with skilled drivers on sand is thrilling. The tour will take you through the Kalacha oasis, a pleasant surprise in the middle of the very arid countryside. Spend the evening in cottages at the edge of the desert. The nights are great for stargazing. It’s the perfect place to find your peace after a long stay in the city. Chalbi Desert is an adventure you may never want to miss in your lifetime.
