This is the part of the Rift Valley in Kenya more or less to the north of the Ewaso N'goro. The north of the region is dominated by massive Lake Turkana.

The rift is home to a wide range of Kenya's peoples including nomadic herding peoples such as the Turkana, Pokot, Samburu and Maasai but also including farmers such as the Kikuyu and even remnant groups of hunter-gatherer peoples such as the Ogiek who live in the remaining forests on the Mau escarpment of the Rift valley.
