Marsabit Attractions

Marsabit is situated on an isolated extinct volcano, which rises above the desert and is surrounded by Marsabit National Park and Reserve. The views from the summit of the volcano include an area dotted with extinct volcanoes and craters. Marsabit National Park has thick forests and rivers that attract plenty of wildlife and great herds of elephant. Marsabit is true elephant country. It was once home to Ahmed, a famous tusker whose majestic ivory tusks are now on display in the Nairobi Museum.

The people of Marsabit are an ethnic mix of Rendille, Boran and Gabra. The streets are a showcase of the many Northern tribes and cultures.
