First hand experience of the Maasai Wariors


This exhibition was truly an inspiration to me ... there culture and the way they live is incredible, throughout the show there did a short drama, and sang a song, after this there was chance to ask them questions.

" what do you use to create the marks on your body and why do you do this"?
"we use clay mixed with water and plants to produce other colors for the makeup, and we do this for a camouflager when hunting ."

After the show they were selling jewelry brought from Kenya which was made and truly smelt like  it was made... i brought a beautiful piece of jewelry in which i hope to use for this project for £15 BARGAIN!


You can see faintly the marks on his arm in no particular way.


I absolutely love this necklace... if they had one on the stall i would of payed a lot of money for it! its beautiful and so much color and detail. 


The oldest member of the tribe to your left and the leader to your right.


This is my purchase from the exhibition ... it actually smells unusual.. but the detail and you can see how it was made.


Thought i'd get a picture with them .... i Love them !! ... you can see the camouflager on the blokes legs to the left of me .



this is a video recorded by me of the show they put on... it was gob smacking ... there voices are like treasure in the ocean ... magical .. unique .. how they make theses noises amazes me.

All in all this was a must see exhibition and i would of been so annoyed at myself if i didn't make it.
