The Maasai are the indigenous people after whom the Maasai Mara is named. They are known for their unique culture, traditional dress, and deep connection with cattle. The Maasai live in small communities called “manyattas,” and continue to practice semi-nomadic pastoralism. Cattle are central to Maasai life, serving as a source of food, wealth, and status. Their traditional attire, consisting of red shukas (cloths), beadwork, and spears, makes them one of the most recognized ethnic groups in Africa. Many Maasai now engage in eco-tourism, guiding safaris and managing community conservancies. Visitors to the Mara often have the chance to visit a Maasai village, participate in dances, and learn about their way of life. Despite modern pressures, the Maasai have preserved their culture and remain key stakeholders in the conservation of the Mara.
