The Malaso World’s End Viewpoint at the floor of the Kenyan Rift Valley in Samburu forms one of the steepest escarpments across the Eastern Gregory Rift. Much of this area is characterised by dry rolling savannah woodlands, fertile soils from solidified lava flows and vertiginous escarpments straddling Samburu, Turkana and Baringo counties.
Malaso is often referred to as the “Earth’s End”, named by British explorer, writer and resident of Maralal, the late Sir Wilfred Thesiger, who described it in his books The Life of My Choice and My Kenya Days.
