Situated along the Eastern shores of Lake Turkana is Koobi Fora Site and Museum, a World Heritage Site also popularly known as the Cradle of Mankind. On-site are mainly extinct fossils like the crocodile, giraffe, and tortoise at least four times larger than today's.
You can also relax at the Koobi Fora camp overlooking the lake away from city life, enjoy spectacular sunsets and teeming wildlife. Koobi Fora is a very important site for Hominid Fossils, famous internationally since Richard Leakey’s discovery of ‘1470’ a 2 million-year-old skull of Homo Habilis.
As interest in visiting this area increases, there is the promise of improved visitor facilities and safari options in this area.
