Isiolo Attractions

Isiolo marks the start of Kenya's northeastern area with desert scrub, mountains and Lake Turkana in its midst. The town of Isiolo is small but cosmopolitan, that has outgrown its outpost days, with a scenic beauty including the mix of race and cultures. Isiolo is home to the Samburu, Rendille, Boran and Turkana people. The large population of Somali people is mainly due to ex-Somali soldiers settling in Isiolo after WW I.

Isiolo is a vital stop for anyone heading north - travelers can stock up on necessities. The next stop for supplies is either Maralal or Marsabit.
