The Masai Village in located in the plains below Mount Kilimanjaro
|
The language throughout the region is Swahili but the Maasai speak their own language to each other. Cattle is the most important asset of the Maasai. The wealth is measured by how many cattle owned. Crime is typically not found in the village as the punishments are extreme.
The Maasai are polygamists - the first wife is more favored. Each wife has her own house. If the husband dies - the brother takes the wives.
The Maasai only eat beef, goat and sheep meat - no chicken, pork or fish.
The primary diet of the Maasai warrior is cow's blood. He will drink cows blood in the morning then go into the bush and not drink water all day. Upon return to the village the warrior will drink more cows blood mixed with acacia herb mix then drink water. He will only eat meat.
