The last bunch of photographs of the Masai tribe. In the Masai tradition, a
village consists of inter related males. Their marriages have to
compulsorily be with women from other villages, and of course, their
daughters are sent out to marry as well. The sons stay back in the village
for the most part.

Firstly, an all male chorus line:
