Fun fact π°πͺπ°πͺπππππ
βChalbi Desert is a stretch of coarse sand spiced up with pure rocks and immense clay where there are also ash-gray ridges and broken clusters of tiny huts.
βThere are pans of salt in the desert which is picked up by many pastoralists and used as a natural animal's saltlink.
βThe desert is surrounded by volcanic hills that create a magical panorama with only selected animals and vegetation that can withstand hostile climates in the entire Sub-Saharan regions.
βThe southern part of the desert is home to the Rendille while the eastern part which is towards the Ethiopian border is home to the Gabbra People.
βItβs believed that there was a lake in the Chalbi Desert that has dried up a thousand years ago, therefore it was named the Chalbi Desert which means bare and salty.
