Madonna tours Samburu, Baringo

Madonna is the third international star to visit the country in a span of three months.

Kenya can rightfully brag about being a prime destination toured by the cream of the entertainment industry, with iconic pop star Madonna being the third international star to visit the country in a span of three months. Privately slipping into the country around January 8, the Material Girl hitmaker took to her Instagram account to document her experiences, spending time in Samburu County.

“Spending time with the Samburu tribe is always an honour. They are nomadic warriors and here the men are singing, dancing, and telling stories to attract the attention of the females,” Madonna captioned a clip of an intimate candle-lit dinner that was followed by the chanting of Samburu men as they danced and jumped high in their red and yellow attires. In the clip, the pop sensation continues to interact with the locals, speaking to one eloquent Samburu woman and asking her about how she makes her marriage a success.
