Matthews Range

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Matthews (or Mathews) Range, also known as the Lenkiyio Hills, is a range of mountains about 150 km long, oriented north-south, in the Laikipia district of the Rift Valley Province in northern Kenya, located between 50-200 km north of Isiolo and south of the Ndoto Mountains.

The area is isolated, and holds forests of juniper and cycads. It is home to rhinos, elephants and other large mammals, as well as some Samburu people. Part of the mountain range has been designated a wildlife sanctuary.

The highest point is Warges, at 2688 m above sea level, near the southern end of the range.
