Central Dahalo

In the dry country of the Ewaso Ng'iro basin, the river carries water from Mount Kenya and the Aberdares toward the Lorian Swamp. Its wetlands spread across a lowland otherwise marked by aridity. The name Dahalo is associated with a Cushitic language of Kenya's eastern coast and with communities whose older livelihoods included hunting and gathering, in a region of many neighboring languages and peoples.
