The
Masai are a very unique intriguing people. They are considered a closed society. Their dress is bright and colorful. They walk everywhere, sometimes over miles of difficult and dangerous terrain. They live in villages that are protected by fences that surround the entire village.There are usually several huts made of mud blocks (cow dung and sticks). They are a tall warrior people who raise cattle. Their staple food is a mixture of cow’s blood and milk. They also raise goats. Young children begin work at a very early age. I saw young boys who were under ten yearsold herding cattle. Young men go through warrior training from about the age of eleven. You will see a picture here of a group of young men outside of the Taranguire park who were going through warrior training. Click any Image for more Photos |

You must be very careful communicating
with and taking pictures of The Masai. You must have permission and usually barter with them. I was able totake these pictures because my guide Omari negotiated with them, I paid them five dollars and Omari gave them several Ostrich feathers ( symbols of bravery and courage) |
