The heartland of the Dodoth tribe is a bowl surrounded by mountains and hills on both sides. They live near the tallest peak of Mount Morungole, near Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda, on the scenic East African Rift escarpment of Timu Forest. The Dodoth land was once rich in wildlife species such as elephants, rhinos, buffalo, lions, and giraffes. Today, travelers can view these animals in the preserved Kidepo Valley National Park.
