Following to oral history, the northern side of the Timu escarpment was the start of the final residence of the Ik community in Uganda from the hills of Kenya’s Turkana county.

The lush forest is located on the southern side and has served the community for many basic livelihood needs such as food, fuelwood, medicine, meat, honey and water.
