Lodwar
Kenya
Lodwar, a city in Kenya's Turkana County within the East African Rift Valley, draws visitors as a base for reaching Lake Turkana and the region's paleoanthropological sites — including fossil discoveries made by Kamoya Kimeu, Meave Leakey, and Richard Leakey. The Turkwel River runs through the city, and a small airport connects it to the wider region.
