The Maasai are a semi-nomadic ethnic group living in northern Tanzania and southern Kenya. Known for their distinctive red shukas (cloaks), intricate beadwork, and tall, slender stature, they maintain a rich cultural heritage. Traditionally pastoralists, the Maasai rely on cattle as their primary source of food, wealth, and social status. Their society is organized into age sets, with elders guiding decisions and young warriors (Morans) protecting the community. Despite modernization, they preserve rituals, dances, and ceremonies that honor life events, including births, initiations, and marriages.
Housing: Live in small, circular huts called enkangs, made from mud, sticks, and cow dung.
Diet: Primarily milk, meat, and blood from cattle; vegetables and grains are supplementary.
Clothing: Red shukas and beaded jewelry symbolize status, age, and marital position.
Ceremonies: Initiations, weddings, and cultural dances are key social events.
Connection to Nature: Deep respect for livestock, land, and wildlife conservation.
