Maasai

I was only in Dar Es Salaam for little over a day, but I had a wonderful time. I spent the evening and part of the morning with my new friends Daniel and Teelan.

They are in the big city to learn English. Daniel wants to become a doctor. Read about their tribe here. You may notice some differences between their culture and yours.

I had heard that some Maasai warriors can track and kill lions using only knives. Daniel said he'd seen it done. He said that usually, Maasai will only attack a lion when it goes after their cattle. But if the lion has killed a cow or two already, they'll venture into the bush to track and kill it.
