MUD-THATCHED MAASAI VILLAGES (MANYATTAS)

The Masai Mara village life showcases a completely different world of traditions where one can get the true aroma of simple yet interesting village life. The layout of a Maasai village Kenya is unique, and the mud-thatched huts set up in a circular pattern with the cows shed in the middle. A Maasai village visit to Maasai homesteads (Manyattas) paints a completely different picture. The villages have most homesteads surrounded with a live thorn fence to keep off the Masai Mara wild animals; hyenas, wild dogs, lions, and leopards away from their livestock. The windowless mud-thatched huts are built with women using a framework of sticks filled in with mud and coated with a layer of fresh cow dung.
