Mathews Mountains

The Mathews Forest, dubbed a ‘biological bonanza’ by the BBC, the Mathews Mountain Range is one of the great stretches of Kenyan forest wildernesses.




To the south of the Mathews mountains lie the Sarara Plains, approximately 75,000 hectares, home to the Samburu tribes people, a group of semi-nomadic pastoralists who have for long shown tolerance for the wildlife that co-exists alongside their cattle. Many species of birdlife, the rare Grevy Zebra, as well as elephant herds, big cats, and wild dog habit this area. Leopard sightings are common, and visits to the Samburu “singing wells” are a unique experience.
