A few more from the Amboseli Maasai. The kids were so shy. They were quite interested in the goat feast, but did not approach nor did I see them eat any. They were also quite interested in me taking their photo, but were shy about it.

The life of the village is in the background, cows and goats.

I just have to wonder what they are saying about me....

I wish you could hear their voices as they would sing on the way to the village.

Nice!! I really like #3.

I do think it interesting that the tribe is partial to red plaid. The question I have is why the children are in "modern" clothes and the adults in the sarong-like attire? Are these "sarongs" just for when tourists visit?

If there was a contest for uggliest bird that one would be strong contender. Nice photo of him, though!!

I wondered the same about kids in western cloths and adults in traditional dress. For what ever reason kids wear western, but when they get older they dress traditional. Many have both types of clothing and like our guides wore western clothing, but other guides were in traditional. It depends on what they are doing, the tribes wear the traditional most the time. In the cities you see both but more western. Sometimes western, but the red blanket over the top. Plus there are different tribes with different dress. We mostly saw Maasai. I don’t know, did that help?
