I consider the signboard pointing to Sibiloi National Park the literal point of no return on the journey to the ‘cradle of mankind’. Endless rock littered into eternity and an unforgiving sun glaring down as early as dawn dare only the primed to proceed.

As if to mock us, we suffered the first of a series of ten punctures that would turn our expedition to the cradle of mankind what I really yearned for-real adventure. Should you be averse to adventure, I highly recommend that your vehicle, just like you, wear off-road shoes before attempting Sibiloi. That or you make use of one two airstrips in the park.
