Marsabit
8.2
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Marsabit is about as off-grid as it gets in Kenya — an isolated highland town surrounded by desert with an extraordinary landscape and a Borana community with genuine cultural depth. The NGO and research workers who base here make for interesting company if you can handle the remoteness.
Mid score (6-8)
Marsabit is remote, the road north is challenging, and the social infrastructure is essentially zero outside of the small aid worker and government community.
Lower score (below 6)
Marsabit is frontier Kenya — significant security considerations, minimal infrastructure, and no social scene for outsiders. For specific purposes only.
