This is Kikuyu market at Karantina, Nyeri in Kenya. It is a very peacefull place... thousands of people congregate daily at the small market place to trade. Everyone talks softly, no shoutings, or loud voices! |

The Samburu society has for long been so organized around cattle and warfare (for defense and for raiding others) that they find it hard to change to a more limited lifestyle. The purported benefits of modern life are often undesirable to the Samburu. They remain much more traditional in life and attitude than their Maasai cousins |

The Nilotic-speaking Turkana are Kenya's third-largest tribe, as well as the country's second-largest group of pastoralists, after the Maasai. Like the Maasai, cattle are the primary wealth providing for almost all the Turkana's material and nutritional needs, as well as being symbols of social standing intricately bound into the tribal fabric Drought and hunger are a recurrent feature of life, and surviving them are what has made the Turkana who they are today: a proud, self-sufficient people, adept fighters and territorial expansionists, indifferent to the lures of "progress" and change. |
