THE MAASAI

Go to the rural areas where traditional people live. The Maasai of Tanzania, who number more than 430,000 live in north and north-central Tanzania, are pastoral people who herd cattle and goats. Seasonally moving in search of better grazing lands. Their red painted “shuka” loincloth and layers of beaded jewelry that they wear, easily identify them. The Maasai believe in one God called “Ngai” who they believe lives on mount Oldoinyo Lengai in northern Tanzania. The God acts in extraordinary events only rather than in the daily matters of life. The Maasai firmly believe the tradition that suggests that Ngai gave them all the cattle on the earth to care for.

The Maasai people have retained their culture for thousands of years. Most of the visitors who come to Tanzania love to see the Maasai in their original culture, especially their traditional attire and life style general.
