Q:North Kenya is reputedly a dangerous place with lots of people carrying guns?
A:Of course there have been some isolated incidences of robbery; involving even tourists over the years but we take the extra precaution of travelling with 2 armed personnel. Likewise, when walking it is highly unlikely that we become a target as we are in amongst the local communities. Typically most incidences are targeted at motorists.

Q:How long is a normal days walk?
A:Most days are fairly easy and we can pace ourselves according to the clients' wishes. However some places have to be covered in the designated time as no pick up point (by our back-up vehicle) is possible. For example the east of Bogoria is one and takes about 6-7 hours walking to cover. The Jade Sea Journey is not the faint-hearted as walks typically range between 8 - 12 hours sometimes

Q:What happens when a client falls ill?
A:I carry a satellite phone to make contact but in very remote areas however in Suguta valley and South Turkana it can be difficult to get help midway.
