The Maasai, a nomadic tribe, are well-known pastoralists and warriors who have lived in the wilds of East Africa for hundreds of years.
The Maasai are famous for their extensive jumping dance skills known as Adamu, red-clad shuka attire, and accessories such as necklaces and spears, representing social status. The Maasai also drink blood for nourishment, and previously, it was a tradition that a Maasai boy kills a lion single handedly or with his spear to attain warrior status.
The Maasai can be located at the great savannahs of Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Ngorongoro, and Tsavo.
Unfortunately, the Maasai are tasked with battling to preserve their way of life, as seen through the eviction of the Maasai people from their ancestral lands in Tanzania.
The Maasai tribe has an estimated population of 2 million and are inhabitants of Tanzania and Kenya.
