Samburu people said to be cousins to the Maasai are similarly dramatic
and unique. Dressed in bright red, with their braided hair and skin
daubed with red ochre, the "moran", the youthful warriors of the
Samburu usually with a spear-in-hand, are a wonderful sight. Although
most of the reserve is arid, Uaso Nyiro River provides a permanent
water supply. Riverine forest fringe the river banks with the doum palm
taking the day as its fruits are a delicacy for the elephants. The
animal species found here are adapted to the arid environment, and are
particularly found in the northern frontier. They are; the beisa oryx,
