Marsabit County, Administrative county in northern Kenya.
Marsabit County extends over 66,923 square kilometers, featuring mountains, plains, and the Chalbi Desert across diverse ecological zones at different elevations.
The region developed as a crucial intersection of trade routes connecting Ethiopia and Kenya, facilitating exchanges between pastoral communities through established marketplaces.
The territory incorporates multiple ethnic groups including Borana, Rendille, and Samburu peoples, each maintaining specific traditions in clothing, ceremonies, and social structures.
The county divides into four administrative sub-counties - Saku, North Horr, Laisamis, and Moyale - with temperatures ranging between 15 and 26 degrees Celsius.
Mount Marsabit rises from desert surroundings with dense forest coverage, creating an isolated green ecosystem that supports distinct wildlife populations.
