East African culture:

 Maasai Traditions.

A tribe that once subsisted mainly on the milk and blood of their cattle, once dined on bread and plum pudding with Ernest Hemingway. A pastoral people who inhabit the Serengeti area of Tanzania and Kenya, the Maasai present a colorful sight in their traditional dress and the ubiquitous spears in their hands.


They are nomadic cattle, sheep and goat herders, who have had to adapt to modern times. Many have turned to agriculture and others have started living in the cities. They are always happy to go back to their villages around the game parks. Some of these villages are open to tourists, whom they entertain with their traditional dances, especially the famed udumu or jumping dance performed by Maasai men. The men are tall and athletic, and call themselves warriors. During their initiation ceremonies in the past, they proved their manhood by killing a lion with spears.

Experiencing the rhythm of African music is one of the most unforgettable experiences. This group of local drummers provides great entertainment to guests, whilst also sharing their unique culture. The traditional music of Tanzanian cultures is given its melodic drive by a marimba (also called a mbira), a type of instrument that is unique to Africa.
