A journey to the Northern Frontier, however, is not merely an exercise in wildlife spotting, and to think otherwise is to miss the point. It provides an avenue for travelers to immerse in relatively uncharted territories and establish a deeper connection with indigenous cultures. It is an expedition tailored for the intrepid, those willing to forgo the commonplace attractions for something more substantive and off the conventional tourist trails.
In the backdrop of this diverse landscape lies the complex interplay of ethnic tension, particularly during droughts when water becomes a rare commodity, and grazing lands turn sparse. However, with a specialist guide who has an intimate knowledge of the region and its residents, the Northern Frontier opens up as an arena for a singularly enriching experience.
