SAMBURU, KENYA - NOVEMBER 08: Local people in vibrant traditional dress and intricate jewellery perform cultural dances during the Maa Community Cultural Festival in the Samburu National Reserve in Samburu, Kenya, on November 8, 2024. The tribes living in the Samburu region of northern Kenya are among the few that have successfully preserved their ancestral customs and way of life. A crucial aspect of the Samburu's survival and identity is their livestock, which includes cattle, sheep, goats and camels and is a symbol of wealth, resilience and social status. Through such festivals, the community not only celebrate their heritage, but also showcase their customs to younger generations and visitors alike, fostering a deeper appreciation of their unique culture.
