LIFE OF THE MAASAI
Known for their traditional cow dung mud huts, drinking cow’s blood, dressing in colorful tribal clothing, high jumping skills, and living only amongst their own kind in remote areas; the Maasai culture is one of the most recognized and famous tribes throughout Africa. Shaded hues of rich, red cloth drape the noble tribesmen of the Maasai distinguishing these fearless warriors from other people throughout Africa. Adorned with beautiful hand-crafted accessories and body ornaments, they wear these trinkets to reflect their identity, achievements, and status amongst their community.
KENYAN CULTURE

This vast array of religions feeds into the diverse yet accepting population which reside in this country. Kenya is made up of 42 tribes and while their villages embrace the modern world, they are also rooted in the simplicity of it as well. Kenyans tend to focus on engaging people from all parts of the world.
