Marsabit is a city in Kenya.
Marsabit is on a plateau that rises above the surrounding rocky plains. There is increased rainfall here so the area is very green compared to the surrounding desert. Marsabit National Reserve is meant to protect part of this forest and large herds of elephants can be seen around the crater lakes in the park--definitely worth seeing. Also, short hikes from the center of town to the two hills with visible towers give panoramic views of the countryside.

Trucks leave everyday day south for Isiolo or all the way to Nairobi and north to Moyale on the border with Ethiopia. A ride in the cab of a truck can cost around US$20. Most trucks do a two-day drive to Nairobi with an overnight stop in Isiolo. There is also a bus that leaves early in the morning every few days from infront of the Modern Hotel. A seat is Ksh 1000 and should be bought the night before if possible because it seems to fill up fast. Be ready for you pack to be tied ontop of the bus. The road to Isiolo is unpaved and very bumpy. Also there are rumors of bandits along the stretch just before reaching Archer's Post. Police also stop the bus at every check point and often demand bribes.
