Question

The masaai tribe lived on the whole southern and northern Kenya and Northern

Tnazania. They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near

the many gameparks of the African gate lakes as well as their distinctive customs and

dress.The Massai were famous fighters. They used to raid the neighbouring tribes and

carry out their cattle.All the other tribes were afraid of them because of their skills

in war.

The Massais are handsome people, tall and slim with light brown skins, straight

noses and long hair. They do not belong completely to the Negro race. They belong to

the same race as the people of ancient Egypt. The Ancient Egyptians probably looked

like the Massais of today.

The Massais live in a beautiful part of Africa. It contains of miles of rolling grassland,

on which you can find thorny bushes and here and there a rocky hill. The people move

from one place to another according to the seasons,looking for the grasses and other

plants on which their cattle can graze. They have no permanent home.When theywant

to settle in a place for some time, they build a kind of camp called a ‘Manyatta’ where a

few families live forafew weeks or months.Then they move on again, taking their few

belongings with them, and burning the old ‘Manyatta’ to the ground.

To make a hut, they take a number of long thin wooden poles and plant them in a circle.

Then each pole is bent into a shape of a ‘U’ and its other end is also planted in the

earth. Now the framework for the hut is ready.

Next, space between the poles is filled with leaves, and small branches of tree and

mud. Then the outside of earth hut is covered or plastered with cow-dung, which

quickly becomes hard in the sun. An opening is left for the door but there are no

windows. The hut is about 5 feet high, so that grown up men can not stand up straight

inside his hut. There is no furniture, except perhaps a small wooden stool for the head

of the family.

The huts are arranged in a big circle. Around the outside of the circle the massai build

a thorn fence, about 7 feet high, with several openings so that he people can go in and

out with their cattle. After dark, all the openings are closed. Then all the people and

cattle in the ‘Manyatta’ are safe from wild animals.

Nowadays there are no wars between tribes. So a massai warrior has very little to do

now. But they sometimes hunting. The Massais like to kill lions with spears, and a

lion-hunt is a great test of courage. The warrior who first kills a lion it given a great

honour and he wears the lion’s mane round his neck to show that he is a lion-killer.

The Massais are fairly well to do and intelligent and live comfortable lives. However,

most of them are happy to live as their ancestors lived hundreds of years ago. The

Tanzanian and keniyan governments have instituted programmes to encourage the

massai to abandon their traditional semi-nomadic life style, but the people hav​
