Visiting a Maasai island village in Lake Bogoria

Desert Rose trees

Inside one of the huts where the Maasai cook and sleep.

Beds made out of dried mud, i.e. not soft at all. One bed is for husband and wife. The other is for the kids.

After an evening of cooking over an open fire, the hut is filled with smoke. The Maasai add special leaves to the fire and manage to keep the mosquitoes at bay with these methods. That's important because Malaria is rampant in these parts.

Building a new hut with mud and rocks.

A more modern hut in which the chickens go in and out.

The Bogoria area is known for its honey. The locals make wooden hives which they hang in trees. They are usually over a meter long. Read more about it here: Traditional beekeeping in Kenya

Village boys fishing

Using homemade boats that sink after a few hours. Made from plants that grow under water.

Another island where one man moved with his 3 wives and plentiful children.

The Desert Rose tree makes a good bee hive when hollowed out.
