Quote: I don't think Teddy was far enough north to be around the Samburu ??? Isn't that up NFD area ??? Maasi and Samburu are both Nilotic, but not overly toleratant of each other I gather.
The Samburu were just North of Mt Kenya, and to the West. Maasai in the South and in Northern Tanzania.
NFD was in the far North.
Roosevelt certainly would have travelled through Samburu areas.
