Journalist mingles with the Maasai Tribe

Author and journalist Samantha Kimambo has released her long awaited memoirs that tell the tale of her unbelievably gripping roller-coaster ride through Africa, meeting Maasai tribes and changing her life.

Author and journalist Samantha Kimambo has released her true, life changing story, a gripping and harrowing tale of endurance, journeying from Suburbia to East Africa and beyond.

The book is an emotional and fascinating insight into previously undisclosed aspects of acceptance within African culture, including first hand experiences of the Maasai tribe; their culture, customs and celebrations.

‘The English Maasai and Other Truths’ encases the reader within a soul battling expedition of both past demons and present trials and tribulations, through good times and bad.

The story is a moving journey of a working mum who trades in the hustle and bustle of London for the adventurous African Plains in search of a life less ordinary. It is a twisting tale full to the brim of courage, culture crossing, fun, family, friendship, illness, love, lust, obligation and sadly rape.

The catalyst for the adventure was not only to explore and enrich life but also to help the less fortunate by setting up a community project in Kenya called ‘Future Foundations International’. The project was designed to encourage, empower and educate in slum areas, helping the community in a non-prejudiced way.

The book ultimately centres around the challenges faced when a person becomes brave enough to get off the couch of life and find a true sense of being.

Author, Samantha Kimambo says; “I wrote the book as I feel the story brings forward many questions that we all have to deal with, from social expectation to moral obligations and family betrayal.

“I hope readers will be able to relate to aspects of the experience and be comforted and inspired by it in the process. It is essentially an emotional journey of discovery”.

‘The English Maasai and Other Truths’ is available to order at all major book stores and retails at £12.95. It is also available at a discount price of £8.95 from Samantha’s own website - Kimambo.com.

For every copy sold 5% of the profit will go in support to ‘Rape Crisis’.
