Cultural Tours
The Maasai people are an indigenous group of subsistence nomadic pastoralists living in the arid and semi-arid rangelands of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. In Kenya, they constitute about three percent of the country‟s estimated population of 42 million
people and in Kenya, they largely live in Kajiado and Narok counties (KNBS, 2014).
These two counties are famous for their rich diversity of large mammalian wildlife, which is a valuable tourist attraction that forms the backbone of Kenya‟s tourism industry.
Tourists from the industrialized nations throng to these preserves for a wildlife safari and the opportunity to view wild animals in their native habitats. These protected areas also promote the conservation of the ecosystems and wildlife resources that encompass both of which are important assets for Kenya‟s tourism industry.
