Wild creatures do not have the area entirely to themselves, as there are many families of the Masai tribe living in and around the crater. The Masai are pastoralists, having made the rearing and caring of their cattle their whole way of life. They seldom, if ever, hunt the game of the crater, except perhaps to protect their herds from predators.
But young Masai warriors who want to marry have been known to impress their girl friends by hunting lions with only spears. The Masai do not fear the lions, the lions fear the Masai and run away at the sight of Masai warriors armed only with spears.
You can be Masai too. You can dress like Masai, you can dance-jump like Masai. But don't try to impress Masai girls...

Great Masai info! I danced with the masai but I didnt dress like one (I was lent just a neck ornament). And btw, how did you shoot a pic of the young masai warriors? Isnt that taboo? I am very curious(I guess money buys anything like you said!)
