The Samburu have been living the same way for hundreds of years and they find modern life very undesirable. They are very reluctant towards change, more so than the Maasai, opting instead to graze their cattle and goats, and live in small mud huts. As soon as the tourists leave, life I imagine, will be back to normal the way it has been for generations, like it is here for this old man. I converted this image into sepia because I wanted to portray a sense of antiquity and timelessness of this world. However, the Samburu are not totally immune to change. Even in this extremely traditional home, you will see signs of modern conveniences creeping in. Perhaps it is just a matter of time before the Samburu eventually adopt a more modern way of life, but even in this age of clones, computers and convenience, I think the Samburu are very proud of their cultural heritage and identity, and will remain largely traditional in their way of life for a long time to come.
