Samburu, Kenya: The expansive semi-arid landscape ranging from fascinating plains to forests at high altitudes not only exhibits natural beauty of Samburu County, but also a land of great bio-diversity and culture.

It is a region predominantly inhabited by the semi-pastoral Samburu community whose vibrant cultural heritage has stood the test of time in spite of economic pressures or even being overrun by external forces.
