The Northern frontier is home to the Samburu, Rendille, Turkana and Borana, who live in o­ne of Kenya’s most arid and unforgiving regions. The flat and hot Kaisut desert is home to the 30,000-strong Rendille who call themselves the "Holders of the Stick of God” whose way of life is now in real danger of disappearing as the rains fail ever more frequently. The desert is bounded by the Chalbi Desert, Mount Marsabit, and the Ndoto Mountains.
