SAMBURU : Daily Life

 

The photos and videos featured here are of rural, lowland Samburu. The families I know herd livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, and camels), as well as selecting some of their children to attend school and get formal sector jobs. When found in or near their settlements, my lowland Samburu friends can be seen doing a variety of things--herding animals, doing local crafts for pleasure and home maintenance, singing, playing, or even simply posing for the camera.
