On our way back, we made a stop to refresh at one of the many Turkana fishing villages on the Lake Turkana islands and shores. They are vibrant, yet challenged communities, traditionally nomadic pastoralists who shifted to fishing due to drought, using reed boats and nets for survival, facing issues like resource competition, climate change impacts (rising water levels), cross-border conflicts, and health issues from saline water, while showcasing resilience through unique cultures and strong communal bonds.
