Maasai village

The Maasai are a Nilotic ethnic group. Nilotes speak Nilo-Saharan languages, and came to Eastern Africa by way of Southern Sudan,[7] although their ultimate place of origin is believed to be in West Africa.[8] Most Nilotes in Eastern Africa, including the Maasai, the Samburu and the Kalenjin, are pastoralists, and are famous for their fearsome reputations as warriors and cattle-rustlers.[7] As with the Bantu, the Maasai and other Nilotes in Eastern Africa have adopted many customs and practices from the neighboring Cushitic groups, including the age set system of social organization, circumcision, and vocabulary terms.
