Maasai Maar in the Loita Hills near the Tanzanian border. A group of young morans, young men who have been through years of preparations to become adults dance together and show off their colors at a Maasai wedding party which is underway. 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.
