According to Samburu and Maasai tradition, two periods of Mutai occurred during the nineteenth century. The second Mutai lasted from the 1870s to the 1890s.

quote	After the dying stopped, desperate strangers began to roam the land, checking the homes of relatives, friends and cattle associates, where they may have been keeping stock, in the hope that some had survived. Likewise, men sometimes traveled great distances trying to breed the one or two animals they had left. Then, as the threat of starvation increased, bands of thieves began to steal and eat more fortunate men’s animals, murdering the owners if necessary. (en) Leaving Becil, we made a capital march north...over undulating grazing grounds...dotted here and there with kraals. Which however, were deserted, owing to recent raids of Wa-kamba, who of late have begun to assume the offensive and make reprisals in cattle-lifting in the heart of the enemy's country. (en) "... there arose a wizard among the Suk who prepared a charm in the form of a stick, which he placed in the Loikop cattle kraals, with the result that they all died." (en) When my father was young, he and his family enjoyed the many blessings of Pokot life on Cheptulel mountain. Their log-terraced gardens, irrigated by the carved “bridge of water” leading from the cool mountain streams, always produced enough grain to supplement the milk, blood and meat of their large herd of cattle and goats. But when father became a youth like me, a great epidemic suddenly destroyed most of the herds, and even wild animals, throughout the land. This was The Time the Country Became Dark. Tororut saved only enough beasts to become the seeds of new herds. Indeed, no one was spared, but those, like my father’s family, who lived in the cooler hills, fared better than most. Three of our family’s cattle survived. (en) "What!" said they, "do you not know that our cattle are dying in hundreds on all hands? You are a great lybon; you must stay with us and stop the plague."

The Pokot use the term the 'Time the Country Became Dark' to refer to the period during the 1880s and 1890s, when the Pokot area suffered through a number of disasters, including a rinderpest epidemic, other stock diseases, drought, mass starvation, and smallpox.
