It almost looks out of place, but it also looks perfect sitting as it does right in the middle of the stunning Samburu landscape, rising up as if to converse with the gorgeous blue skies. Visible from tens of kilometers away and a sight to behold with its table like appearance, this is Ololokwe the sacred mountain of the Samburu. For generations the Samburu have roamed the rolling plains around and beneath the mountain tending to their livestock. The Samburu revere Ololokwe because they consider it the source of water and food for their livestock. In times of hardship and droughts the Samburu have turned to the mountain to plead for a return to normalcy and prosperity. The elder women of the community would go up to the mountain and pour milk as a sacrifice in prayer for their needs to be met by God.
