Maasai Mara is the New 7th Wonder of
the world and the 4th preferred tourist destination in the whole world.
In November 2006 the Masai Mara was named as the New 7th wonder of the
world because of what experts termed as "the uniqueness of the area and
the preservation it provides to so many species living in harmony". It
is understandable because this annual migration is the greatest wildlife
spectacle on earth.
The Masai people are so significant due to their culture.
Starting from their dress code, the color red is so significant in that
they scare away wild animals as they co-exist with them. They believe
that God, Enkai, gave them cattle, therefore they believe that all the
cattle belongs to them. That's the reason why they have been known due
to their cattle rustling. Although the Maasai are known for their
nomadic life and cattle keeping, they is a group of agricultural Maasai,
known as IL Loikop, are look down upon by the cattle keeping group, the
Wakwavi since they believe they are the true Maasais created to keep
cattle.
