The samburu tribe from northern central kenya are pastoralists from the great plains of the samburu they are closely related to the maasai of kenya and they are said to have migrated from the Nile region of south Africa.The samburu people speak a dialet of the maa which they share with maasai.
The samburu are pastoralists and they primarily raise cattle but also keep other livestock like goats, sheep and even camels.Because of the arid environment that they inhabit, this African tribe is traditionally nomadic.
The samburu diet, like the maasai consist of milk and animal blood, while eating is reserved for special occasions.
The samburu are renown for their colorful clothing and their unique social structure.The men wear pink or black cloth in a manner similar to the Scottish kilt and adorn themselves with bracelets, anklets and necklaces.The worrior age-group or moran is to wear their hair in long braids.The women in the other end keep their heads shaven and wear two clothes ,one around the waist and then other around the chest.
What sets the samburu free is their social structure that is governed strictly by the elders who make all the decisions.The leaders are the eldest members of the society and they have the final say in all matters.
The ultimate source of power for the deeply religious African tribe samburu is their God,Nakai.
