Little rock art research has been undertaken in the Rift Valley region of northern Kenya. This report presents data derived from 21 sites located in Samburu District. Over 360 motifs were recorded, including representations of humans, animals, written text, geometric designs and brand marks. All rock paintings were located in shelters used by Samburu Morans (warriors) for meat-feasting
