This year we were fortunate to travel to Kenya. One activity we did during our trip was a safari where we had the opportunity to visit the Masai Mara reserve. In addition to the incredible amount of animals, all different you see, also visited a Massai village.
The truth is that the situation is rather curious. Upon arrival you get the village chief, and then negotiate with him, the price to enter and visit their village. Once negotiated the price, you send a kid Massai, more or less young, who speaks English and is going to be the one to tell you things from their village.
Although Massais live in villages, in the midst of National Park Reserve, ultimately it is common to send their children to school, to learn English among other things, that’s why the guy who was with us he could communicate to the perfection.
So nothing here began our visit to the village. We saw many houses made of mud and cow dung, the villagers, we got into some of their houses and told us how they live. The Massais usually drink much milk, and also the famous blood of one of the many cows they have. In fact, the more cows to have richer and more children are considered can have.
A strange thing is the impact that you get to see a kid about your age, speaking to the culture of his people: Polygamy, machismo, ablation and circumcision … and your there six feet but a world of cultural difference.
Well here we leave you some pictures of what was the visit to the village. With hint of dance by Massai me included.
