Loyangalani


Loiyangalani lies on the Eastern bank of Lake Turkana (Lake Rudolph) in Marasabit County.

Marasabit County was formerly part of the Eastern Province prior to 2013.

It should be noted that Lake Turkana straddles Marasabit County and Turkana County.

This large area extends around the southern reaches of Lake Turkana and includes numerous volcanic fields and centres many of which, but not all, are alkaline.

Approx coords range: 2º00' - 3º00'N; 35º49' - 37º00'E.
