Catalogue Note
The Uaso Nyiro River (the Masai name for "Red River") has tributaries which are fed by rains in the Aberdare Mountains and Mount Kenya. The river brings life to the arid lowlands of Northern Kenya, flowing swiftly through the tribal territories. The river feeds into the great Lorian Swamp in the far North of Kenya. The river's sandy banks and lush vegetation attract wildlife in the surrounding area.
