About the rite
Samburu Lmuget le nkweni moves boys, often roughly thirteen to twenty, into the lmurran warrior age grade. Through collective rites they receive a role in herd protection and community life. Research published in 2023 documents continuing passage ceremonies while keeping Samburu practice distinct from Maasai parallels.
