Masai Village

The Masai Village is about a 2 hour drive from the city of Arusha where I am living.  The Masai people are the northern tribe native to Tanzania.  In the village we met the chief who currently has 7 wives.  There are about 150 children that attend their two room school house.  We met a few warriors who told us about their experiences killing lions which they had to do in order to become a warrior.

There village is literally surrounded by nothing.  Just land for miles and miles.






One of the Chief's wives and child. 



Another one of the wives and child. She could not have been more than 13 years old.

The children's faces were covered with flies.  It never seemed to bother them though. 

It is hard to see in this picture but the warriors are killing a goat for us to drink the blood from.

We danced with the women.
