Lorian Swamp

The Lorian Swamp is an area of wetlands on the Ewaso Ngiro river in Isiolo North (chari), Kenya.

Apart from the Ewaso Ngiro river, the swamp is also fed by wadis from the southwest and the northeast.

[2] Little is known about the swamp, due to the hostile terrain and insecurity in the area.

The swamp is infested with malarial mosquitos and with vectors of the organisms that cause bilharzia.

[1] Because of the dangers, cattle are not grazed far into the swamp, but they do make extensive use of the shallow waters, particularly in the dry season.
