Turkana is a county in the far northwest of Kenya. It borders Uganda in the west, South Sudan and Ethiopia in the North and the Kenyan counties of West Pokot, Baringo, Samburu and Marsabit to the South and East.

The area, formally known as the Rift Valley, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in Kenya. Dressed in woven wraps together with distinct piercings and jewellery, the ŋiTurkana are instantly recognisable, a reminder of the pre-westernised Kenya that is slowly disappearing.
