The Matthews Range of mountains is an area of untouched wilderness that would stake its claim as one of Kenya’s remotest regions. Sitting between Kenya’s barren northern wastelands and the busier Laikipia safari region, the Range stands in stark contrast to the surrounding low-lying savannah plains. Although it receives very few visitors, this area offers some of East Africa’s finest walking.
This region is primarily a wilderness area and not a big game destination; however, there are a good number of elephant, along with buffalo and leopard. The main attraction is the remoteness and the scarcity of other visitors. Days are spent exploring the area on game walks, birdwatching and interacting with the local Samburu tribe. It's a destination for old safari hands or for people wanting to explore a little-visited region.
