Lokichar is a small town in Kenya's Turkana County.

Lokichar is situated in the heart of the dusty and arid Turkana basin (desert) in the Rift Valley, 550 km north-east of Nairobi.

Until 2010 it was a forgotten backwater of Turkana cattle-based pastoralists with a pre-2010 population under 1,000.

The principal activity was basket weaving and other native crafts to cater for the sparse traffic.
