Mathew’s Mountain Range

The Mathew’s mountain peaks rise up out of the desert, a mountain range covering approximately 1,000km² and rising to an altitude of 7500 ft.  This area is managed by the Kenya Forestry Dept., as the mountains are clad in lush equatorial mountain forest.  The local community with the facilitation of Northern Rangeland Trust has created a truely massive conservancy, The Namunyak Wildlife Trust.  Kitich Camp lies in the heart of Namunyak and works with the community on wildlife and forest conservation and community projects.

Kitich Camp – is the only tourist facility in the area and has the whole mountain range and forest to itself.
