Nairobi: the Maasai culture

Last january I was in Nairobi working as an interpreter.

I have visited the national park guided by two experient game drivers, David and Marcos. They drove us in this special mean of transportation.

The national parks lays on Massai Lands.

The Maasai tribe are known for their unique culture, clothing, and herding lifestyle. They are also known for their dancing and music.

I and my friend Mary Gio took a picture with two of them at a Massai market close to the park.

We bought souvenirs to our families.

The Maasai speak the Maa language, which is similar to Samburu and Camus. They also speak Swahili and English.

The Maasai are monotheistic and believe in a God named Engai or Enkai.

The Maasai are known for their elaborate jewelry, face painting, and intricate hairstyles.

The color red is significant to the Maasai, symbolizing bravery, unity, and blood.

The Maasai are semi-nomadic pastoralists who herd cattle and goats.

The Maasai eat the meat, milk, and blood of their cattle, as well as raw honey. Some groups also grow maize and other crops.

These are pictures I took at the Safari at the Nairobi National Park.

This one was taken by our guide David, African Bush Explorers.

Just some pics of this remarkable land.

And Hakuna Matata which means no worries.
