Last evening was our last time here in beautiful Maasai Mara! Africa is full of colorful people and the Maasai Mara Warrior tribe is more colorful than them all!
Their main color is red! They jump very, very high when they are dancing! They usually go through the crowd and get guys to try to “out-jump” them and one visitor did!! Then, they pick some women from the audience to dance with them! It was fun!
Before the Maasai Mara got involved in conservation and wildlife protection, they killed wild animals, especially lions, giraffes, and others. Now, they work in tourism as guides, translators, cleaning crews, waitresses, etc. Some have high government jobs. They now protect the animals and still make a living selling their jewelry, etc… Wonderful people!
Today, we are leaving for Nairobi by small plane. Sunday, we leave for Miami. Monday, we travel to Haiti by the back door. We had a wonderful time here in Africa! The people are so precious. We’ve missed Haiti. We love you.
