The Pakistani camel is the fifth camel breed in Kenya, imported from Pakistan into Laikipia ranches in the early 1990s. Pure Pakistani camels do not exist in Kenya; instead, there are crossbreeds with Somali or Turkana camels. This breed is the best among Kenyan camels for milk production. Under ranch conditions, it produces 4–7 liters of milk daily.
The body color is predominantly chocolate, and the camels have an invariably drooping lower lip. Mature body weight ranges from 400 to 700 kg. Camels reach first calving at 4–5 years of age, and their average standing height is 1.9 meters. They are heavy feeders, requiring ample grazing and forage to maintain performance.
The main advantage of Pakistani camels is their high milk yield. However, they are less hardy and have not been sufficiently tested on rough or arid terrain. Crossbreeding with Somali or Turkana camels improves adaptation while retaining their high milk-producing potential.
