Informations supplémentaires:
Maasai Mara in the Loita Hills near the Tanzanian border. A maasai wedding party is underway with young men and girls dancing around the village. A drunk has collapsed in the grass after too much local brew. It is mainly Maasais who live in the Loita Hills up above the Serengeti plains. They live in small villages and communities called bomas and live mainly of raising and selling live stock such as cattle and goats. Its a very remote region in Kenya, hard to get to without a four wheel drive with very little infrastructure and up till 2010 no mobile phone network. The Maasais are well known though out Kenya and the world for their colorful clothing and their way of keeping their old traditions alive. It is also a tradition to perform Female Genital Mutilation, an extreme form of circumcision when the girl hits puberty. The Kenyan charity S.A.F.E is involved in eradicating this brutal tradition and works to promote alternative rites of passage for the girls.
