Take a journey through the desertscape to visit a Samburu village. It is a remarkable privilege to meet members of this ancient and proud tribe as they welcome you with a traditional meal and a walk through the manyatta (homestead). Sit in the central meeting place to see the stalwart Samburu warriors as they share a traditional dance, jumping higher and higher to outdo each other. Learn all about the stunning beaded necklaces worn by the Samburu women and listen to stories passed down for generations.
