Mount Ng'iro is a mountain in the north of Kenya overlooking the Suguta Valley, part of the Great Rift Valley, to the west. The mountain is surrounded by desert, but is forested on its upper slopes. It lies in the territory of the Samburu people. The Masula phratry of these people cultivate bees on the mountain, and as bee-keepers claim exclusive rights to the land and water.
