Known as one of the wildest areas in the country, the Matthews Range is situated in Kenya's remote Northern Frontier. This untouched wilderness is sandwiched between Kenya's barren northern wastelands and the busier Laikipia safari region. The densely forested slopes of the range are contrasted by the vast, low-lying savannah covered plains surrounding it. The Matthews Range is renowned for its excellent trekking opportunities through untouched natural landscapes featuring crystal-clear mountain streams, natural rock pools, slopes dotted with prehistoric cycads and rare orchids. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife species, including elephants, buffalo, leopards, monkeys, buck, over 200 bird species and more than 150 species of butterflies. Visit the local Samburu community, and enjoy world-class birdwatching and superb game viewing.
