Still semi-nomadic and very strongly connected to their traditions and culture, the Samburu are one of the most famous and interesting tribes in Kenya. Closely related to the Maasai and speakers of a version of the Maa language (Maasai and Samburu understand each other perfectly well, even if they smile about each other’s accents and tuns pf phrases), they are believed to have reached Kenya between four and five centuries ago with other Nilotic groups like the Karamojong settled in North Eastern Uganda – walking South from the Horn of Africa.
This a special interactive wildlife safari with a strong educational flavor, designed for families and small groups. It is a fun learning experience that allows you to explore not only the wildlife, but also the authentic lifestyles of two (the Maasai and Samburu) out of the three of Africa’s last remaining and culturally fascinating tribes – the Maasai, Samburu and the Karamojong. Under the tutelage of their ‘Moran,’ or warriors, our guests get to know, enjoy, and understand these unique people and see the Kenya bush from a completely different and unique perspective – through the eyes of the people who have called this wilderness their home for centuries.
