About the Samburu People

The Samburu are a semi-nomadic pastoralist people of north-central Kenya. Often called the 'butterfly people' for their colorful traditional attire, they maintain ancient traditions of cattle herding, warrior culture, and striking beadwork artistry.

Our Samburu cultural experience brings together authentic tradition bearers who have dedicated their lives to preserving these ancient practices. Through music, dance, storytelling, and interactive participation, audiences gain a deep appreciation for this remarkable culture.
