Rendille House and Camp

Ancestral Cushitic Culture; the Rendille tribe inhabits the climatically harsh region between the Marsabit hills and Lake Turkana in Northern Kenya, Africa; indigenous, still in use. When the nomadic people move, all the elements of each house are demountable, light weight, and are carried to the next camp, where the parts are re-assembled; from pre-historic times, still in use.

Elevation ranges between 360 meters (1182 feet) and 1000 meters (3280 feet).

Materials: Frame from wooden sticks, bound by plant fiber rope, covered in roof shingles from mountain sisal, tied to the frame. Fibre ropes hold the outer layer of sisal intact.
