The Maasai Mara tribesmen in Kenya are renowned for their vibrant dress and impressive culture. They are very proud people that boast a proud heritage, and a strong connection to the land and its wildlife. My eye was instantly drawn to the colors and contrasting patterns of the traditional Shuka robes worn by the tribesmen that greeted us upon our arrival in the village.  The patterns and colors of the Shuka are significant, representing various aspects of Maasai life, such as age, social status, and marital status
