From the boat, Rebecca Kochulem points at the hills surrounding Lake Baringo. It is a spectacular specimen of natural beauty: red cliffs plunging into water, steam rising from gurgling hot springs and the hills, lush and green with acacia trees.
Kochulem, a zoologist, sees this as a perfect habitat for giraffes.
"The only problem is that most of the species were wiped out from this area because of poaching," she says.
Many decades ago, this was the home of the Rothschild's giraffe. Because of poaching and conflict, they disappeared from this area of Kenya for about 70 years.
