Day 12: Day trip to National Park Central Island
In the middle of Lake Turkana there are three islands of volcanic origin. After breakfast, take a motorboat across to the middle island. Central
Iceland is designated as a national park. The three crater lakes on the island "Crocodile Lake", "Flamingo Lake" and "Tilapia Lake" are the most
important breeding grounds of Crocodylus niloticus, the Nile Crocodile, walk between the crater lakes and discover the island. In the evening go
back to Eliye Springs.
Day 13: Beach Day and Sundowner
On the last day you can enjoy beach, lake and sun. On request, guests can enjoy a massage at the resort or a fishing trip. In the afternoon you will
go to the last highlight of your trip - a boat trip with a Sundowner.

Transfer to Lodwar to the Airstrip or optional extension at Lake Turkana.
