What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Nairobi or Nanyuki for August 1 to September 15, 2027, round trips of 3 to 8 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- Amateur race entries are taken on the day; pay the fee and hire a camel and handler.
- Lodging is basic; the Yare camp and a few guesthouses fill up.
- Maralal is about seven hours by road from Nairobi or four from Nanyuki, the last stretch rough.
