The Samburu culture or ethnic group are herders. They are related to the Masai although they live just above the equator where the foothills of Mount Kenya merge into the northern desert. The Samburu center their lives around their cows, sheep, goats, and camels. Milk is their main stay; sometimes it is mixed with blood. Meat is only eaten on special occasions. Generally they make soups from roots and barks and eat vegetables if living in an area where they can be grown. The Samburu have many traditions and ceremonies for every occasion including the killing of a sheep for the birth of a baby; initiation or graduation rites as they prepare to become adults and marriage ceremonies which may occur after the initiation ceremony. Girls generally marry between the ages of 12 and 15 and boys usually, in their mid twenties. Boys become murrani or junior warriors for about five years and then go through another ceremony to become a senior warrior or Moran.
The men of the Samburu Tribe are inducted into the Moran, in which they are pampered and given every want and need, for they will be the ones selected to do battle for the tribe.
