Archeology Kenya Adventure Safari is considered to be the most incredible in Africa. Kenya Historical and Archaeological sites have contributed significantly in our understanding of our human origins.

Sibiloi National Park in Kenya stands on the edge of the largest desert lake in the world, Lake Turkana. The park is a World Heritage Site and known as The Cradle of Humankind due to its unique fossil and archaeological significance.

Archeology Kenya Adventure Safari in Sibiloi is for those who wants to explore the origin of Mankind in Africa. Visitors with a pioneering spirit and a yearning for the road less traveled will find their ideas of life in Africa transformed after spending time in Sibiloi.

The Cradle of Humankind

The Sibiloi National Park was created to protect the fairly recently found fossil sites, that have contributed more to our understanding of human evolution than any other area on the planet so far.

The Koobi Fora Region is the center of archaeological and geological interest. The movements of the earth, human origins and mammalian evolution over the last 4 million years have been documented and studied at many sites, but the most exciting part is that there is still a massive land area with fossil exposures that has yet to be explored.

Safari options include a guided fly-in tour or 4×4 Toyota land cruiser on a rough terrain through the northern frontier. Any type of expedition should be well equipped, self-sufficient and conducted by experienced guides.

Over the last 30 years, a Petrified Forest has been discovered and thousands of fossils brought to light, including more than 300 hominid specimens plus the remains of a giant Crocodile, Tortoise and elephant. Dr Richard Leakey unearthed an ancient skull of an early human at this site and since then Sibiloi and the Turkana Basin have been the center of scientific study and research.

Wildlife

The park is extremely hot and arid, yet it protects a range of wildlife that is astounding in its own right. Animals that can live in arid conditions, such as Grevy Zebra, Beisa Oryx, Gerenuk and greater Kudu, are present in the park. Other species include a comprehensive range of predators namely Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Striped and Spotted Hyena, Jackal and Caracal to name a few. Central Island is a major breeding ground for Nile crocodile.
