Camels replace cows as Kenya battles drought


Sereolipi (AFP) – In northern Kenya, where drought has decimated the cattle herds of the Samburu pastoral communities, camel farming is becoming increasingly common. These long-necked mammals, capable of feeding on dry grasses and going more than a week without drinking, can produce up to six times more milk than the native livestock. “I am very happy because we now have milk to give to the children during the dry season,” says Soilin Lolpusike, mother of seven children.
