Sambeke, a proud Maasai herder (warrior age-set), comes from a small pastoral settlement nestled in the Kenyan foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro (near Amboseli National Park, Rift Valley Province).
He travels each year to the island of Lamu off Keyna’s Swahili Coast to work as a security guard. The money he earns goes towards the upkeep of his family and cattle back in the homeland.
Elegently adorned with glass-beaded collars and stretched earlobes with glass-beaded sleeves.
