East lake turkana gps points

If you are driving from Loyangalani to Omorate, it is possible to avoid paying the park fees for Sibiloi National Park, by taking the road that goes around the boundary of the park. These are the waypoints of the route we took:

There is now a Customs Office in Omorate (next to Immigration); they stamp your Carnet, and issue a Temporary Import Permit, free of charge.

The bridge at Omorate is now in place (28/11/2014), but the access road is not finished. Even so, it is possible to cross the bridge on a motorbike; for a car it is more difficult, but if you have a good 4x4 and some sand-ladders, you can make it onto the bridge.
