The Maasai are an indigenous African ethnic group of semi-nomadic people located in Kenya and northern Tanzania. Due to their distinctive customs and dress and residence near the many game parks of East Africa, they are among the most well-known African ethnic groups internationally.[3] They speak Maa,[3] a member of the Nilo-Saharan language family that is related to Dinka and Nuer, and are also educated in the official languages of Kenya and Tanzania: Swahili and English. The Maasai population has been variously estimated as 377,089 from the 1989 Census[1] or as 453,000 language speakers in Kenya in 1994[2] and 430,000 in Tanzania in 1993[2] with a total estimated as "approaching 900,000"[3] Estimates of the respective Maasai populations in both countries are complicated by the remote locations of many villages, and their semi-nomadic nature.
Although the Tanzanian and Kenyan governments have instituted programs to encourage the Maasai to abandon their traditional semi-nomadic lifestyle, the people have clung to their age-old customs.[4] Recently, Oxfam has claimed that the lifestyle of the Maasai should be embraced as a response to climate change because of their ability to farm in deserts and scrublands

I was lucky to be accepted by them for a while even my guide advice me to go on a masai village where the tourist are welcome. very few words: they dont't drink water! their menu is milk in the morning, milk and cow blood for lunch (half/half) and cow meat for dinner. not to many choises!!! |

Io cred ca defapt ai vrut sa-i arati anelisei ca ai si tu poze cu tzigani mai reusite ca ale ei. E tare ciudat ce se intampla aici pe TE. 2 puncte pentru bratzara albastra din primplan.
liviu,
recunosc ca prima oara am auzit de Maasai in Out of Africa (si iar recunosc ca e unul dintre filmele mele preferate "of all times").
Drept care de fiecare data cand aud/citesc ceva despre devin nostalgica (n-am idee de fapt de ce, dar probabil ca nici nu are mare importanta)
asa ca iti multumesc,
dora
ps: subscriu si eu la parerea isabelei
tu chiar ai vazut lumea toata? cit te invidiez......si o si recunosc :D ...
cu ce ocazie pe acolo? vreau si eu ,nu de alta
super imagine,ceva ce sigur mi-as dorii sa am in galeria mea
