Travelprint living with the Samburu in Africa

Tuesday 1st December 2009

Terance Dixon, of Travelprint while photographing wildlife for a forthcoming brochure in Kenya took time out and lived with the Samburu tribe for three days. Terance was able to shoot a small but good body of work during his stay in the Manyatta not only of the tribe but some wildlife material simply not available from the usual safari Kombi or Landrover.  When asked about the experience Terance said the strangest thing was that he was requested to wear something red by the tribe.  The only red thing he had was a pair red hiking socks which were very thick and not so good in the searing heat.  A red strapped Swatch Watch on Terance’s wrist was soon spyed by one of the taller tribesmen needless to say he now has the watch and Terance has the beads.
