Maasai

The Maasai are pastoralists whose society is closely connected to cattle. Herds supply milk and are a source of wealth, while families move in search of grazing across the East African plains. Social leadership is organized through age sets, with different generations holding distinct responsibilities. Women possess detailed knowledge of their animals, including their ancestry, milk yield and temperament, and play an important part in the care of herds.

The later city of Isiolo lies here.
