African Warriors by Thomasin Magor

In the rugged terrain of Northern Kenya, virtually isolated from "civilization", lives one of the last surviving warrior peoples of Africa. Renowned for their extraordinary physical beauty and grace as much as for their independence and pride, the Samburu are semi-nomadic pastoralists whose lives and intricate social system, with its age-sets, cattle-wealth, circumcision and marriage rituals, have been shaped over time by the fierce climate, by inter-tribal rivalry and by the never-ending search for grazing and water. In this book, Thomasin Magor, who lived among the Samburu for six years and built up a strong bond of trust with them, has created a photographic portrait of this African people.
