MasaiThe pastoral Masai native gruop occupy the Narok and Kajiado districts of Kenya, and share the Olmaa language from which their name derives within Kenya with the Samburu and Ilchamus, and across the border in Tanzania with the Arusha and Baraguyu.

The Masai native People are trying to survive in the contemporary society.

They are a semi-nomadic people who lived under a communal land management system in Kenya . The movement of livestock is based on seasonal rotation. We can say that they have a responsible behavior with the management of their resources because they respect the environment and they utilize their tools in a sustainable manner.

Each tribe manages its own territory.
