Omotik

The Omotik are a small hunter-gatherer people of the East African Rift Valley, living among their Maasai neighbours. Their own language belongs to the Nilotic family, distinct from the language of the Maasai. Like other forest-dwelling communities of Kenya's highlands, they drew on wild resources: hunting provided meat, while honey gathered from the forest was a prized food. Their history belongs to a landscape shared by foragers and pastoralists.

The later city of Narok lies here.
