The average rate of motion across the San Andreas Fault Zone during the past 3 million years is 56 mm/yr (2 in/yr). This is about the same rate at which your fingernails grow. Assuming this rate continues, scientists project that Los Angeles and San Francisco will be adjacent to one another in approximately 15 million years.

The Samburu National Park is located 325kms north of Nairobi in the hot and arid northern region of Kenya and is 165 sq. km in extent. The reserve is placed within the ancestral lands of the Samburu, who are close relatives of the Maasai tribe.
Despite being so far flung, the reserve harbours a number of species rarely found anywhere else. Among these are Grevy's zebra, the reticulated giraffe and the beisa oryx, all of which are only found north of the equator.
