Logistics 101: What to Expect

So, you’re planning a trip to live with the Rendille people. That’s awesome. But before you start packing your bags, let’s get down to business. The Rendille are a semi-nomadic people who inhabit the vast expanse of northern Kenya. To get there, you’ll need to fly into Marsabit Airport, from which you can take a 4×4 vehicle to the heart of Rendille country.

When to Go

The best time to visit the Rendille is during the dry season, from January to March. This is when the temperatures are mild, and the scenery is at its most breathtaking. But be warned – the dry season can also be a bit of a challenge, as the roads can be rough.

What to Pack

When packing for your trip, don’t forget to bring the essentials: a sturdy pair of hiking boots, plenty of sunscreen, and a good camera. And don’t even think about showing up without a reliable 4×4 vehicle – you’ll need it to navigate the rough terrain.
