Sibiloi National Park

Sibiloi National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on Lake Turkana’s shores, is a paleontological treasure trove often called the “Cradle of Mankind.” Its arid landscapes preserve a fossilized forest of ancient conifers, its petrified logs and stumps testifying to a vastly different, greener climate millions of years ago. This dramatic setting also holds the renowned Koobi Fora fossil beds, which have yielded groundbreaking discoveries of early human ancestors and prehistoric fauna. Together, the fossilized forest and hominid remains make Sibiloi an irreplaceable chapter in the story of life on Earth.
