“In the arid, rugged terrain of Northern Kenya, virtually isolated from civilization, lives one of the last surviving warrior peoples of Africa.  Renowned for their exceptional physical beauty and grace as much as for their independence and pride, the Samburu are semi-nomadic pastoralists whose lives and intricate social system, with its age-sets, have been shaped over time by strongly held beliefs, by inter-tribal rivalry, and by the never-ending search for grazing and water.”
