Mombasa, Kenya

The lands outside of Mombasa are the home of the Maasai people, an Indigenous nomadic ethnic group in Kenya and Tanzania with a captivating culture rooted in their pastoral lifestyle. Their history is marked by resilience against colonial forces and a deep connection to the land. Their age-old traditions revolve around cattle herding, warriorhood and communal living. The Maasai are renowned for their distinctive red clothing, intricate beadwork and high-jumping dance. Today, Maasai communities balance tradition with modern challenges to preserve their rich heritage.
