Exceptional heavy rain in Isiolo tonight. This was the cloud building up just before sunset, then it deposited more rain in the last hour and a half than I've seen in many years.

Looking north from the volcanic slopes of the Nyambene Hills. Beyond the scoria cones in the forground (Meru County) are the hills of Shaba National Reserve (Isiolo County) and in the far distance is Ololokwe and Warges in Samburu County. #Kenya #northernkenya #meru #isiolo #samburu

Gosh, the news is depressing. So here is a nice picture of the Ewaso Nyiro instead. This was taken just east of Archers Post where the river marks the border between Samburu and Isiolo counties. #NorthernKenya often troubled, always beautiful.

Elephant crossing! This fine Chinese road takes you all the way through northern Kenya to the border with Ethiopia at Moyale. It has improved travel times and ease of transportation enormously, but it has also impacted wildlife in the area. #wildlife #conservation #northernKenya #Kenya

From @BashowAlas on X "Poor roads have been affecting mobility in Northern Kenya since 1963. During the rainy season, floods cause havoc in the transport sector, goods & services plus public transport is affected mainly. Politicians don't travel by road, they travel by AIR" 6:10 AM · Nov 21, 2024

It's wonderful to see Bluesky filling up with energy and activity. It almost feels like the old days on that other place. So, here is some beautiful northern Kenyan blue sky for all my new Bluesky friends. This is Samburu County at sunset. #northernKenya #Kenya

Rain showers moving across Samburu East this week. So far the rain has been patchy, some areas still very dry, some showing the first shoots of green. Northern Kenya.

According to USAid "Through the Northern Kenya Carbon Project, communities have earned $14.6M from carbon credits." Overgrazing and charcoal burning amongst other environment destroying activities makes carbon credits for northern Kenya a complete joke.

Poverty rates by county. All of northern Kenya is covered within the top ten. When I say northern Kenya, I am talking about the northern half of Kenya! #northernkenya #marginalization

Rain over Allia Bay, Lake Turkana. This is where the fossil hunters come, it is famous for being the place where they found some of the earliest hominid fossils. #Kenya
