Desert Museum Loiyangalani Entrance Fees

In this post, we will focus on Desert Museum Loiyangalani Entrance Fees. The Desert Museum, Loiyangalani, which is located on top of a hill with a view of the picturesque Lake Turkana, also known as the “Jade Sea,” opened in June 2008. It focuses on the lives of the residents of the eight communities in the area. Turkana, El-Molo, Rendille, Samburu, Gabra, Watta, Borana, and Dassanach are the eight communities. In recognition of the unique cultures in this region and by its mandate to preserve and promote Kenya’s rich cultural and natural heritage, the National Museums of Kenya decided to establish a museum in the area.

Loiyangalani is a small town on the lake’s southeast coast. Loiyangalani, which means “a place of many trees” in Samburu, is also home to the El Molos, a nearly extinct community. The town grew from a freshwater spring and is known as an Oasis in the desert. Because of the unique desert environment and the rich cultural lifestyle of the people of Lake Turkana, it is quickly becoming a tourist attraction. An airstrip, post office, fishing station, campsites, and lodges are among the town’s amenities. The National Museums of Kenya, in collaboration with other partners, organise the Lake Turkana Festival, a cultural festival held annually in Loiyangalani to celebrate the culture of this region and to promote both local and international tourism.
