Maasai Tribe

On our second day of our safari we were able to stop off and meet a Maasai tribe, this tribe was situated near the entrance of the Ngorongoro crater, which trust me when I say it is far far away from any civilization. We were greeted with a dance from the tribe and then invited into the 'village' we were shown the homes, which is a very small hut made form mud and dung, with one tiny window in so the smoke from the fire is let out of the hut. There were several beds in the hut the one I went into had a mother and baby in there and we were told that the whole family would sleep in the hut as well as their goats.The tribesman that was showing us around infromed us that they only eat goat, they use everything from the animal, eat it's meat, and drink it's blood and milk. We were shown the school, as we entered the children were singing, and then one child went to the board and pointed to numbers they recited the numbers in unison in English. In the middle of the 'village' there's a circular market where they try and get you to buy their jewelry, the tribe use the money they get from tourists visiting to go to the nearest town and buy beads to be able to make things to sell, they also use animal bones that they to make things out of.
