With profound confidence of their culture, standing with pride in the savannah wearing their red blankets and painted shields, the Maasai people have become one of the more widely known symbols of East Africa. It’s not rare in Tanzania to see the Maasai in their traditional dress code, not only in their countryside communities but also in the streets of the cities.

The Maasai are among the local semi-nomadic population inhabiting the northern part of Tanzania. They are best known as the fierce Combatants/ Warriors of East Africa for their residence near many National Parks of the African great Lakes and their distinctive customs in life style. They still exist on a diet of milk, blood, and meat; however, it is becoming very common in every place to supplement their diet with grain. The Maasai travel in clans living off their cattle herds along and build their family homes in circular enclosures protected by thorny makeshift fences. They often keep their cattle in an enclosure in the centre of the ‘BOMA’ (home).
