Your entry point to the country will most likely be Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), 15km/9mi southeast of the capital city Nairobi.

Marsabit National Park is located 560km/347mi north of Nairobi. Although very off the beaten track, Marsabit is sometimes visited on a road expedition to Lake Turkana. This safari should only be undertaken by experienced 4x4 enthusiasts.

The new tarred road from Isiolo (near Samburu National Reserve) to Marsabit and continuing towards Lake Turkana might put Marsabit on the tourist map. This area is, however, still very remote and advice should be taken before heading out here.

There are no commercial scheduled flights to Marsabit.
