Ukambani has beautiful women. These women have a striking beauty that is enhanced by their calming complexion and stunning curves. One of the reasons Kenyan beauty is biased towards Kamba Nation is the environment. Heat has an effect on one’s skin and body size.

The tall Kamba women are a beautiful gem. However, you should note that their admirable heights have been influenced by heat as explained by Allen who said people with longer appendages dissipate heat with ease compared to their short counterparts.

This is a necessary condition to avoid bad effects of bulkier bodies. Bergmann’s rule states that a bulkier shape minimizes heat loss, because the bulkier animal has a relatively small ratio of skin surface to metabolically active bulk, and skin surface determines heat dissipation.

Moreover, if you meet a short and fat Kamba lady, this is the effect of heat combined with humidity.

However, note that there is confusing anthropological evidence about the combined effects of heat and humidity to humans in Africa and the rest of the world.

Another natural way that shapes Kamba women is the reduced appetite due to high temperatures. Less eating is associated with the admirable slim bodies. This is why you will take time to see an obese native Kamba woman. They do not need to starve themselves to reduce weight or swallow grams of pills to achieve the same.
