The Maasai are a semi-nomadic ethnic group primarily found in Kenya and Tanzania. They are known for their distinctive customs, dress, and unique social structure. Traditionally, the Maasai are cattle herders, and their culture revolves around livestock, which plays a crucial role in their identity and economy. The Maasai are famous for their vibrant clothing, particularly the shúkà, a red-checked or striped cloth. Their rich oral traditions, music, and dance are integral to their community life. Despite modern challenges, the Maasai strive to maintain their cultural heritage while adapting to contemporary society.
