They are inaccessible to outsiders but for Desert Rose guests Samburu people make an exception. Cultural visits to the Samburu community enlighten and give captivating experiences on how to track animals on the ground. Visits to their local home steads (manyattas) and acquire knowledge on the various uses of the plantations surrounding the community, some of which are used medicinally.

Similarly, visits to the Turkana, Elmolo and Gabbra communities can be arranged.
