As you will discover, the Maasai guides have preserved their traditional culture, which is largely based on the raising of their cattle, which they adore and know perfectly. As an anecdote, each cow has its own distinction, and each Maasai clan has its own decorations. The life of the warriors evolves from one initiation passage to another.
