Explorers killed by Masai

In the days of old, explorers into the interior had one major problem—namely the fierce Masai tribe who owned and controlled vast tracts of land in the interior. So huge was the Masai and that it was impossible to avoid them in any way. Many got killed trying to sneak past the Masai tribe who are excellent trackers.

Masai history of violence

Historically the Masai tribe of East Africa have always had a reputation for being an extremely fierce and violent tribe. It is interesting that in the 18th century during exploratory missions into the interior of the continent, the Masai were a major threat to anybody who dared cross into their rather vast territory.

Innovative mortgage approach

message from our sponsors;
What is an endowment mortgage? This is a very clever and innovative approach to mortgages that enabled many people to own houses in the 60s and 70s. However in recent times, due to various reasons, endowment mortgages have not quite worked and people who take out such mortgages have not been able to pay off what is owed.

An endowment mortgage is where the principle of the loan is covered by an endowment insurance policy. Thus the mortgage is paid off by paying insurance premiums on an insurance policy, which are usually much lower than a mortgage payment would be. The endowment policy ensures the mortgage holder will be able to pay off the loan when it becomes due. Thus the only thing that remains due is the interest on the loan.

However in recent times these endowments arrangements have run into various problems.

Masai manyatta is extremely cool

One interesting feature of the Masai Manyatta is that the hut is extremely cool inside and it is a real shelter from the sweltering heat that is found in Masai country. Yet at night it is also warm and keeps out the cold. It is an engineering feat of sorts that deserves some respect

Masai manyatta

The Masai have always been nomads and this explains the way they build their houses, popularly called Manyattas. They are constructed quickly and in a make-shift way with the walls smeared with cow dung. You can quickly tell that they were never constructed to last. In fact they do not even have a thatched roof and can hardly stand several seasons of rain.

Encouraged to approach

How would you like to work with attorneys who are always encouraged to approach each case with a fresh perspective and to look for opportunities to resolve conflicts in a cost-efficient and effective way? Difficult to believe that such lawyers exist when we all know the sort of reputation most lawyers have all over the world.

But then Simmons Jannace & Stagg is not really just any other law firm. Where most lawyers are slaves to convention and the status quo, these attorneys are not. If anything they are equally adept at representing small companies, municipalities as well as individuals. It really isn’t surprising that many of their clients have been with them since inception over 10 years ago.

The Mara or the Serengeti?

The world famous Masai Mara Game reserve in Kenya actually neighbors the Serengeti game reserve in neighboring Tanzania. It is interesting how the Masai have ignore geographical and national boundaries and kept their way of life pretty close to what it has been for centuries. They usually roam this vast land covering the Masai Mara and Serengeti without caring much where the border line is. (read next post for more)

Which country Masai?

Nationals of Kenya and Tanzania (the two countries the Masai occupy) usually require passports to cross into each other’s country’s. Not the Masai, who ignore border checks and criss-cross from one country to the other clad in their traditional attire and without a care in the world. Immigration officials have over the years respected the Masai’s way of life and would never dream of asking them for their passports or nationality.

Tourist attracted

Despite many changes in the way of life of African tribes where many have abandoned culture for the modern way of life, the Masai have stubbornl clung to their culture and way of life. Little has changed in the way the Masai have lived in centuries. But this IS NOT the main attraction for tourists attracted to the Masai who are flocking into Africa to see this unique African tribe

Masai wives

Masai women are the most interesting people one can ever choose to research on. Masai culture demands that women are circumcised and what this brutal practice does is that it makes it much more difficult for masai wives to enjoy their conjugal rights with their husbands. Still they usually have to be very submissive to their fierce warrior-like husbands.

Famous masai love-making prowess: myth or reality?

For many years the lovemaking prowess of the famous Masai tribe of Africa has been well known. More so amongst a growing number of women tourists flocking in from Europe with little else on their mind other than a sex safari in the African bush involving some Masai warrior. And they are visiting Masai country in Africa, Kenya, in larger numbers every year. Read article on why the Masai are such experts in lovemaking.

The sensitive issue of sex tourism

The issue of sex tourism is an extremely sensitive one but it seems that African governments that are heavily dependant on the valuable foreign currency brought in by tourism have conveniently looked the other way as the Masai tribesmen have attracted huge numbers of tourists, especially women out for sex tourism rather than responsible tourism. Read an excellent article about how Masai warriors are attracting sophisticated white female tourists.

Gold Investment Magic

Like any other investment product, gold is no different as it comes in more than one form. It could either be in coin or ingot form. The latter are generally gold ingots purely of bullion and cast in a specific size and shape according to convenience. With the coins, they have a currency value and sometimes also defined as ingots. Among the precious metals, gold could be the most traded one as its existence and man's fascination with it dates back to the ancient times. To this day, the yellow metal continues to fascinate man with its beauty and magic which is inexplicable

Why Are Masais Special?

The Masai are special lovers because of many reasons. Mostly all the reasons have to do with their culture. Many other African tribes are jealous and will quickly dismiss the truth in the article that I am about to refer you to. But I challenge you to do your won research and you will realize that there is plenty of truth in this well written safari article.

Nobody wants to admit this about the Masai

Nobody wants to admit it but the Masai are really special lovers and the huge crowds of women from the west who troop into Africa every year for a holiday and perhaps a chance to win the heart of their very own Masai man are there to prove it. But what really makes the Masai special? This safari secrets articles pulls no punches.

Maasai Secrets

A stranger to Maasai secrets and way pf life will be forgiven for thinking tht it is the easiest thing on earth to approach a couple of Maasais to easily learn everything there is to lear about the tribe and community as a whole. Nothing could b further from the truth. Yu are bound to quickly discover that the Maasai are a secretive lot and do not easily trust their secrets to any stranger who happens along.

Where Culture Of Secrets Came From

So where did this whole thing of such secretiveness emerge from? The answer may not be easy to find but chances are high that it emerged from the warlike activities that Maasai have always been associated with. The history f this tribe shows that they are almost always in a state of war. People who are at war remain as mysterious as possible to their enemies and do not just spill all the beans about their way of life without thinking.
