Answer 2

*Before colonial times, Maasai land stretched over a vast area from north Kenya to the steppes of northern Tanzania.
*In 1885, Maasai land was cut into half with an international boundary between British Kenya and German Tanganyika. Subsequently, the best grazing lands were gradually taken over for white settlement and the Maasai were pushed into a small area in south Kenya and north Tanzania. 
*The Maasai lost about 60 per cent of their pre-colonial lands. They were confined to an arid zone with ​ uncertain rainfall and poor pastures. 
*From the late nineteenth century, the British colonial government in east Africa also encouraged local peasant communities to expand cultivation.
*Large areas of grazing land were also turned into game reserves like the Maasai Mara and Samburu National Park in Kenya and Serengeti Park in Tanzania. 
*Pastoralists were not allowed to enter these reserves; they could neither hunt animals nor graze their herds in these areas.
* Very often these reserves were in areas that had traditionally been regular grazing grounds for Maasai herds.
