It is also home to a rich variety of wildlife, including elephants (once known for their massive tusks), buffalo, greater kudu, leopards, hyenas, and over 350 species of birds.Marsabit is also culturally significant, inhabited by diverse pastoral communities such as the Rendille, Borana, and Samburu, whose traditions and lifestyles add depth to the visitor experience. Its remoteness and rugged beauty make it an ideal destination for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Kenyan safari.
