Kenya / Amelite Kenya is a country consisting of nine states. It is on the slope of Kenya and the equator of the Nyamben Mountain Range. It covers an area of 3,850 square miles. The climate of Kenya is one of the shortest rain from March to May and the rainy season is longer than October to December. At high altitude, the temperature is 68 degrees. In Kenya, dry Semialo land reaches 90 degrees. People in Kenya have a proud tradition of agriculture. 90% of the population are farmers.
Back in Kenya, we traveled to a remote location in the base of Kenya and northern Kenya. And on some of the worst roads through the trip. Nomadic tribes such as Marsabit's Rendille and Samburu (Maasai's cousin) are still wearing very unique and elaborate costumes. We will continue traveling north to the Omo Valley. In this small observation area, the most colorful ethnic groups in Ethiopia live. Friendly Hamar people are known for their luxurious and fun hairstyles, and Moursi is known for their clay lips and earlobe decoration. You can go to Omo National Park with 2 day option tour
Masai lives between Kenya and Northern Tanzania. They moved here from the Nile Valley 600 years ago. They are close to the national park and its colorful red kanga so it is one of the most famous tribes in sub-Saharan Africa. These women are known for doing colorful beadwork while men are trained to become warriors. The Maasai were not fighting much now, but the tradition of warriors still exists: men are responsible for protecting their cows and goats from lions, cheetahs and hyenas. As nomads, their wealth (and pride) is measured by the number of goats and cows they possess.
Like the wild animals they coexist, the Masai need a lot of land. Unlike many other tribes in Kenya, they live by grazing cattle and goats. They believe that Enge (their God) gave them all the cattle in the world. They call the tribe of neighboring farmers and hunter gatherers "Nudrobo", which means poor people. This is because the Maasai is measuring wealth by the number of cows, so people who do not keep cows and those who eat meat of wildlife are considered poor. Masai does not have fixed meadows or permanent buildings. Instead, they built "Boma" (village) for a group of families. Boma is a circle of one cottage for each family surrounded by a circular enclosure of thorny bushes. Each woman built a cottage with cow dung and clay. The team regularly abandons their Boma and creates a new Boma in the water and pastures.
