Infos

Dressed in red shuka cloth, they wander through the savannahs of East Africa with their herds of cattle and pull thorny hedges around their kraals to protect them from lions, which they hunt with spears. However, the image of the proud Maasai people and their young warriors has long since been tarnished by modernity. Overgrazing, AIDS and western lifestyles are taking their toll on the traditions of the Maasai. The author spent weeks in a Maasai village in northern Tanzania and experienced the coexistence of modernity and tradition at first hand. A journey into the heartland of the Maasai, a captivating encounter with their culture and tradition. Illustrated eBook with numerous photos.
