The Samburu - Kenya

In the northern reaches of Kenya, where dry earth meets endless sky, live the Samburu—a semi-nomadic people deeply attuned to the rhythms of land and livestock. Closely related to the Maasai and speakers of a shared Maa language, the Samburu migrate every few weeks across arid terrain in search of fresh pasture for their herds. Cattle, along with goats, sheep, and camels, are not merely sources of sustenance—they are sacred companions, central to cosmology, kinship, and survival.
