Getting to Kangolo Farm
Arriving at Ethi find a small petrol station on right side of road. Opposite that turn left toward Borana Conservancy.
Keep following main murram road for about 8km. When you start going down hill with Borana laid out in front of you. Sieku Glamping is to your left 500m after that, Ennaikishomi primary school on your left.
Turn left just before school. Very rough road on very steep hill. follow track on map.... (if you have reached Borana Gate after Ennaikishomi Primary you've gone too far).
There is zero signal once you leave the Ethi - Borana Gate Rd 4x4 only.
We’ll be creating a WhatsApp group closer to the time to help coordinate car shares. Please note that the price is all-inclusive, except for travel.
