Maasai men run to catch a ride on their way home from a nearby market.
It is mainly Maasais who live in the Loita Hills up above the Serengeti plains. They live in small villages and communities called bomas and live mainly of raising and selling live stock such as cattle and goats. Its a very remote region in Kenya, hard to get to without a four wheel drive with very little infrastructure and up till 2010 no mobile phone network. The Maasais are well known though out Kenya and the world for their colorful clothing and their way of keeping their old traditions alive...With very little traffic and no public transport coming across a potential lift is precious. The three men has been to the cattle market in Ilkering and are walking back home, a good 6 hour walk. The pick-up truck run by S.A.F.E is almost fully loaded and only the front man gets his much wanted lift.
