Located in Kenya's Northern Frontier The Matthews Mountain Range is the least accessible place and one of the wildest areas in the country. The place is home to numerous types of wildlife as well as the famous nomadic Samburu people.
The only permanent river in the region, the Ewaso Ng'iro, has cut deep gorges through the mountains. It is fed by seasonal mountain streams where indigenous native flowering shrubs and prehistoric cycad palms flourish grow and prosper. There are thick dense forests, rocks, craggy peaks and beautiful open clearings.
The mountains are a stronghold for many species. Herds of gazelle, oryx, ostrich, and Grevy's zebra share the pasture land with Samburu cattle. Elephant are found in great numbers whilst lion, leopard, greater kudu, waterbuck, giant forest hogs, buffalos and even wild dogs are among the other species found, together with more than 200 bird species.
The Mountain Range environment is being preserved for future generations of Samburu, wildlife and visitors. The Samburu themselves have received great benefits from the guests of the camp in the area, through the Conservation Fee which goes directly to the community and funds education, health care, community development and more.
