Due to their unique way of civilization and style of dress, they stay at various entertainment venues in the eastern part of Africa. This tribe is more familiar among African groups. Maa is the common language spoken by this group. The total Maasai population speaking such languages is around 900,000 when estimated. These language speakers are found in Kenya and Tanzania.
Many people travel a long way to reach Masai Manyatta just to enjoy a day or two. These Masains believe in and worship the god Engai. People have assumed that their god lives on a mountain. This mountain is in Serengeti of Tanzania. The religious chief who performs extraordinary prayers and sacraments in times of natural disaster is called Laibon. He acts as a transmitter between God and people.
Corpses should not be buried according to Maasai tradition. They think that the rotten body pollutes the soil. Those carcasses are thrown to the scavengers. This particular funeral ceremony could bring pleasure to the religious head. Suppose the scavengers don’t eat those carcasses, people think that’s a very bad sign for the town. So, accordingly, they decorate the body with animal blood to attract jackals and other ferocious animals.
In the end, the main intention of the people is that some animals eat the carcass.
On the other hand, society does not accept newborns. The reason behind this practice is that the infant mortality rate is very high in Africa.
If the baby manages to survive for three months, it is then given a name and taken entirely back to the community. When boys reach adolescence, they are initiated to become warriors. This group of warriors is known as Morans. The ceremony performed during this time is very painful. The particular ritual is performed once every fifteen years.
Even teenage girls must undergo the ritual called (FGC) F-Female G-Genital C-Cutting. This practice is strongly criticized by the women who undergo this ceremony.
