samburu people

The Samburu are closely related to the Maasai tribe. They are nomadic pastoralists and their whole life and culture revolves around their livestock.

The word Samburu is taken from the Maa word meaning butterfly and they are indeed very beautiful people – the men are particularly careful about their appearance.

It is possible to visit one of the local ‘manyatta’ (villages) where you may interact with the people as they go about their daily lives. This is a genuine village where real tribes people live their lives.
