Masai

The Maasai are a semi-nomadic ethnic group from East Africa, primarily Kenya and Tanzania, renowned for their rich cultural traditions and distinctive customs. They traditionally rely on pastoralism, raising cattle as a vital part of their economy and social identity. The Maasai are known for their vibrant clothing, intricate beadwork, and elaborate ceremonies. They maintain a strong sense of community and ancestral ties, often living in villages called enkangs. While modern influences have brought changes, the Maasai continue to preserve many aspects of their heritage, balancing traditional practices with contemporary life.
