Villages

Kabarak villages include Mutwo, Kapserton, Orapno, Lelin, Epke, Mosop and Chemurgui.

The villages are headed by the village elders who are tasked with solving minor disputes amongst the residents.[1]

The landmarks along the Kabarak clan's land include the Kapserton Cattle dip. Built in 1966, the dip has been serving the whole Kitany location for decades. It has also proved to be the only cattle dip which has survived the time challenge, many more have collapsed except this one.

The Koipa-cheligui viewpoint is at the edge of the escarpment. The height of the cliff is estimated to be between 80 and 100 meters.[2] The cliff faces the eastern direction making it a common spot for viewing the sun as it rises.
