The 32nd Maralal International Camel Derby brought together 37 professional pastoralist riders from the Samburu, Turkana, and Rendille communities, some travelling over 150 km with their camels to compete. Beyond the prestigious money prize, the event serves as an important showcase of culture, attracts global visitors, boosts local tourism, and fosters peace among communities historically divided by resource conflicts in a region harshly affected by climate change.
