If you may be interested in working at the Samburu Lowlands Research Station and are an independent scholar, work at a college or university, or are at a research institute, then please fill out our contact form. Researchers from Africa are especially invited to get in touch with us. The facility is also available as a camp for tourism when there is not a research group using the facility.

Samburu County is a region in the north of Kenya, largely populated by the Samburu tribe, a group of nomadic pastoralists closely related to the Maasai living a traditional life on common land. The Samburu speak northern Maa, though everyone speaks Swahili and everyone who has been to school also speaks English. The area is changing very rapidly with traditional culture practices declining rapidly.

Samburu Research is an American organisation with Kenyan partners, formed by William Rubel in collaboration with local Samburu friends and colleagues. Together we work with local communities to research and document Samburu culture for the benefit of current and future generations, and to communicate those research outputs to the local community as well as to the outside world.
