Experience Maasai people's culture

Kenya acknowledges approximately fifty indigenous tribes. At the turn of the twentieth century, the Maasai were the dominant tribe. They are one of the rare tribes who have preserved the majority of their traditions, culture, and legend. The Maasai, like the wildlife with which they coexist, require a large amount of land. Unlike many other Kenyan tribes, the Maasai are semi-nomadic and pastoral, subsisting on herding cattle and goats.

The Maasai are an ethnic Nilotic group that speak the Maa language. They are linked to the Nuer, Kalenjin, and Dinka and are members of the Nilo-Sahara family of languages. The Maasai are worldwide recognized for their particular culture, ceremonies, 'high leaping dance,' bespoke attire, and brave warriors.

If you visit Kenya, it is strongly recommended that you meet the Maasai and learn about their culture. The Maasai community's interesting culture may be experienced at the Nairobi National Museum, Narok Museum, the yearly Esiankiki Night Festival, and the Eunoto ritual.
