Meet the Samburu Tribe

The Samburu tribe are Kenya’s most colourful tribe. The women are brightly adorned in beaded necklaces, bracelets, anklets and head dresses whilst the moran (young warriors) display elaborately braided hair dyed with red ochre. Few places in Kenya hold so strongly onto their culture as the 1,200 Samburu families of this district do and so much so that though they welcome visitors to their homes, ceremonies and gatherings, photographs are not allowed.
