Samburu County is located in the northern part of Kenya, known for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. The county is home to the Samburu National Reserve, which attracts tourists eager to see animals like elephants, lions, and the unique Samburu Special Five—the Grevy's zebra, Somali ostrich, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, and the Beisa oryx. The county's population primarily consists of the Samburu people, a semi-nomadic pastoralist community. They rely on livestock for their livelihood and maintain rich cultural traditions, including vibrant dress and music. Samburu County also faces challenges such as drought and limited access to education and healthcare.
