Dressed in black leather cloaks and singing the lebarta (circumcision song), Samburu boys return to their lorora (a purpose-built circumcision encampment) in the early morning carrying over their right shoulders sticks, staves and gum, which they have collected to make bows, blunt arrows and clubs after their circumcision.The boys walk up to two hundred miles in five to seven days in search of a special type of Commiphora tree, Boswellia neglecta, which only grows in the arid, low-lying country of Samburu District.
