Wazaramo

Wazaramo is a traditional price negotiation practice among the Maasai people of East Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanzania. It involves community members bargaining collectively to set fair prices for goods or services, often in contexts like markets or communal transactions. This process helps ensure transparency and fairness, spreading bargaining power across the community rather than individual negotiation. Wazaramo embodies social cohesion, mutual respect, and cultural values, reinforcing relationships and community integrity. It highlights the importance of consensus and collective decision-making in Maasai culture, fostering trust and equitable trade while maintaining cultural traditions.
