The Masai are a semi-nomadic ethnic group primarily found in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are known for their distinctive customs, traditional dress, and vibrant beadwork. The Masai primarily rely on cattle herding for their livelihood, which plays a central role in their culture and social structure. Traditionally, the Masai live in small, mobile communities called enkangs, where they build homes known as enkaji from mud and grass. Their society is organized around age sets, and they practice rituals that celebrate milestones such as circumcision and marriage. The Masai are also recognized for their strong connection to the land and wildlife, often coexisting with animals in their natural habitat.
