Here you will observe all the children who are too young to go to school; and their mothers. The village patriachs’ will be at the readt to welcome you and the young morans will bespeak the traditional igniting of fire.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

A Maasai village is called a "manyatta." The Maasai are a nomadic people who live in Kenya and are known for their distinctive customs, dress, and lifestyle. The manyatta is a traditional circular settlement made of mud huts and is home to a group of extended families. The Maasai people live a semi-nomadic lifestyle, moving from place to place with their herds of cattle, sheep, and goats in search of water and pasture. The manyatta is typically surrounded by a fence made of thorn bushes to protect the village and its inhabitants from predators such as lions.
The Maasai people have a polytheistic religion and believe in a supreme being called Engai or Nkai, who is considered the god of the sky and rain. Engai is thought to reside in the mountains and is believed to be the source of all life and the provider of all sustenance. The Maasai also believe in a number of other gods, spirits, and ancestors, each of which is associated with a specific aspect of life, such as health, fertility, and protection.
The Maasai people primarily speak the Maa language, which is a Nilotic language that belongs to the Nilo-Saharan language family. Maa is widely spoken by the Maasai communities in Kenya, and is used for everyday communication as well as for cultural and religious rituals. In addition to Maa, many Maasai also speak Swahili and English, which are the official languages of Kenya, respectively. Some Maasai may also speak other languages, such as Kikuyu, Dholuo, or Kamba, depending on the region where they live and their cultural background.
