SAMBURU WOMEN

MARGARET (LEFT) WITH MARRIED, UNMARRIED SAMBURU WOMEN

When we reached the village, a young women who spoke excellent English named Margaret met us and was our “guide.” They collected their fee and then the women of the village (about 12) sang and danced to welcome us. Then we watched a blacksmith make knives, walked through a typical hut (pretty bleak), heard about their customs (they are nomadic herders who consume mainly blood, milk and meat, they practice polygamy and male and female circumcision, etc.).
