visiting Masai People

Day 2: Safari we went slightly higher to Ngorongoro Conservation Area (2500m) today to see more animals & to meet the famous #masaai tribe although there are few negative reviews on #masaai visit as a ‘tourist trap’ (especially on the price, forced purchase, staged school tour), we feel it is still a must-visit place in itinerary. so for USD50 (per jeep), we were entertained with singing & dancing along with the famous high jump (Adamu), a tour inside their home (inkajijik) & the kindergarten, demonstration of fire making skills and the part bila when they haggle to buy those crafts n jewelleries. quick info on Masaai 1. traditional diet consists of milk, meat, fat, honey, tree bark & blood (cattle). cow blood high in protein. they drink it pure or mix with milk 2. they belong to the tallest people in d world. average man is around 6 kaki 3. they have their own Masaai Olympic-running, hunting, dancing & cattle herding 4. the houses are made from cow dung & human urine. poo is important to ensure the house roof waterproof & warm d house 5. they wear red to symbolize warrior/blood/bravery 6. laki dia boleh kawin ramai. in fact, the multiple wives buktikan their wealth 7. they are nomads 9. they hunt lions but nowadays the activity has declined #ngorongoro #masai
