Day 2 - Samburu: Samburu Tribe 

During the journey up to Samburu National Park, we had an optional visit to a traditional Samburu village to meet the tribes and take a tour of the village. It was a very nice visit at the time, but thinking back we felt that we were 'intruding' into the lives of the tribes people, visiting their homes and so forth. It was an 'interesting' place though!

View of the Samburu cattle arriving outside of the village. The warriers (Men) and cattle walk miles to find ground suitable for grazing - quite difficult in such a barren terrain as you can see from the pic!
