Maasai

The Maasai people are nomadic people that live in the Mara of Kenya and the Serengeti of Tanzania. Their native language is called Maa and sai means speaker or one who speaks, so Maasai means the speaker of the Maa language.



This guy was a chief in training, he told us all about their culture and heritage.



A group of Maasai warriors performing one of their tribal dances.



The guys will jump to impress the ladies. The one who can jump the highest impresses the most. (Guys are all the same everywhere, it's all about impressing the ladies)



A nice group photo, the Maasai colors are red, they really like red.



The stick I'm holding is the chief stick. (Me big chief!)
