A view of the rocky hill settlement of Logurun, visited by the Seligmans in the early part of 1922. According to their diary they travelled between these villages by bicycle. Logurun contained an important Lotuko rain shrine, and was part of the Tarangole territorial group within the Lotuko-speaking peoples. The homesteads were built on terraces irregularly up the hillside.
