Maasai

On the way to the natural parks it is possible to visit a Maasai village where we can see how they live. Their houses are circles of huts made of branches and surrounded by straw to surround the herd.

The importance of the herd for them is still imposed. Their religion centers around mystical beliefs regarding the Maasai, their herd, and their God Ngai. The cows are sacred, and so is their land and all the elements that revolve around the herd. The herd provides all the needs of the Maasai: milk, blood and meat for their diet, hides and skins for their clothing.

Maasai handicrafts are very remarkable, mainly in textiles, wood carvings, beads and hematite ornaments. They usually wear a cloth on the shoulders of bright colors. They collect a large number of ritual dances and songs that can be enjoyed during the visit.
