Masai Here is a picture of 4 young Masai men The Masai people live in Tanzania and Kenya
Work The Masai people take care of large herds of cattle, or cows, for a living. The Masai people have to move often so that their cattle can eat fresh grass.
Masai Homes The Masai make their homes out of mud, sticks, grass, and cow dung. They make these homes because they have to move so often. It would not make sense to build a house like you have and then leave after one month!
Clothing The Masai people wear cloaks, called shukas The women wear a lot of beaded jewelry The women often shave their heads and wear wide necklaces
Masai People Today The Masai people have lived for thousands of years amongst the wildlife in Tanzania and Kenya Today there are very few Masai people left because the places where they used to live are being turned into big cities
