Two handsome elders met us. They did NOT know that we were coming. But they could hear us, if not see our dust cloud, as we approached. They were the most gracious and friendly of hosts. It was a real treat and a real insight into this ancient culture that hangs on against all pressure to “modernize”.

A Maasi village from the outside. A protective wall (against lions) of brush, thorn bushes, and other shrubs surround the entire village. ½ mile away it is all but indistinguishable in the landscape. Usually these villages are semi-portable as they follow the grazing of the cows. This village is more permanent, drawn to permanence by the presence of a school and a NEW Christian church nearby. You can barely make out the roofs of the houses inside the enclosure. We had the privilege to get a tour from one of the two elders.
