Maasai Walker by Ryszard Wierzbicki
The true spelling of this honorable tribe is Maasai (not Masai), which translates to “people speaking maa.” The British immigrants spelled Masai incorrectly, and it is still in use today. Maasai people have always been unique. They stand out aesthetically due to their vivid crimson robes. Despite the threat, they remain cool under pressure and brave with a spear in hand. Karen Blixen, a well-known author and ardent supporter of Africa, said it best when she said: “A Maasai warrior is a lovely sight. Those young men exhibit the highest degree of the type of intellect we refer to as stylish; although appearing to be daring and wildly imaginative, they are yet unwaveringly committed to their own natures and to an immanent ideal. Their fashion is not presumptive.
