Overview
Matthews Mountain Range in Kenya and discover a true wilderness area, home to the Samburu indigenous community. The Matthews (or Mathews) Range, also known as the Lenkiyio Hills, is a range of mountains in Kenya, Africa
Description
The Matthews Range of mountains is an area of untouched wilderness that would stake its claim as one of Kenya's remotest regions. ... A series of steep gullies and winding paths snake through the Matthews Range and the Ngong River has a couple of large rock pools perfect for swimming.
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 elephants, 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.
