Samburu are the closest relatives of the famous Masai. They live in the north and central regions of Kenya. The main type of their activity is animal husbandry, which is why they are forced to roam in search of fresh pasture for their livestock. For the bright clothes and a large number of beads, this tribe is called “butterflies.” Most likely, this tribe got its name due to the clothes of bright colors and colorful ornaments. Fabrics of bright colors, often pink, yellow and red, they put samburu on their shoulders or tie them on the waist like a long skirt, this traditional outfit is called "shukka".

The tribe lives by the scenic Ndoto mountain ranges in northern Kenya. These places are still untouched by civilization. Samburu knowingly does not make contact with the modern world (although they are quite friendly) in the name of preserving their traditions. Samburu is genuinely loyal to its centuries-old traditions: they are very careful about numerous customs and are still implicitly conducting ancient ceremonies.

In everyday life, men and women samburu can walk topless or wear a loincloth - kanga. Sometimes it is decorated with a complex and bright ornament. Before the appearance of full-fledged clothing, samburu was worn by animal skins. Now only women use pieces of skin as aprons. Skins are used during ceremonies.

Many beads are an important part of the appearance of samburu. They are woven with a complex pattern and fit on the neck in multilayer ornaments that can say a lot. For example, to be a symbol of power, a distinction of social groups from each other or to report that its owner has the ability to witchcraft. Nevertheless, their inherent feature is aesthetic beauty.
