Maralal, a small town about an eight-hour drive north of Nairobi, is the scene of an annual camel festival that brings together members of the Samburu, Turkana and Pokot semi-nomadic cattle-herding tribes.
As well as two days of camel races, the festival includes tribal dances, market stalls and a few old-fashioned fairground rides. Tents also claimed to contain the shortest man or the smallest woman but I stayed well away from those.
