Masai, Massai or Maasai constitute an ethnic group of stockbreeders and of warlike semi-nomads of Eastern Africa, living in most cases in the center and the southwest of Kenya and the north of Tanzania.

The Masai life is dominated by their herds of cattle and livestock. The Masai often move hundreds of kilometers with large herds of livestock in search of water and rich pastures.

The Masai diet is based on fresh / curdled milk, blood and meat from their livestock. Centuries ago the Masai were feared as ruthless conquerors and warriors who invaded other tribal areas in search of bigger grazing land and more cattle. Today the Masai people are peaceful custodians of the Masai Mara and also play a role in Kenya's social and economic structure.

Most of the Masai people continue living the traditional way in harmony with wildlife.

Masai rites and Masai traditional ceremonies are taken very seriously. Elders play a very important role in the Masai community and Masai society at large. Many Masai men pass through the three stage of boyhood, warriorhood and elderhood. All Masai speak a version of the language “Maa”.
