What to Know About Dukana

Key Facts

Dukana is a small settlement and administrative location within the North Horr constituency of Marsabit County in northern Kenya. Located in the remote Chalbi Desert region near the Ethiopian border, Dukana sits approximately 75 kilometers northeast of North Horr town, positioned within Kenya's vast and arid northern frontier district. This remote community serves as an important center for the Gabra pastoralist people who inhabit this challenging desert environment. While precise population figures for Dukana itself are not regularly documented, the broader North Horr constituency that contains it has an estimated population of around 30,000 people, primarily from the Gabra ethnic group who practice nomadic pastoralism as their main livelihood. The settlement functions as a local administrative unit within Kenya's devolved government system, operating under Marsabit County's governance structure. Dukana's geographical isolation and harsh desert conditions make it one of Kenya's most remote inhabited locations, characterized by extreme temperatures and limited water resources that shape the daily lives of its residents. As an administrative location within Kenya's postal system, Dukana serves as a reference point for mail delivery and administrative services to this remote part of Marsabit County, with postal code information being essential for connecting this isolated community to the rest of Kenya.
