Another remarkable aspect of Maasai culture is their reliance on domesticated animals, such as cows, goats, and sheep, which they raise in kraals. The males are in charge of caring for the animals. The more animals one claims, the more extravagant he appears to the Maasai population, and tourists can visit the kraals while in the area. This is because the number of domesticated animals determines an individual’s wealth, and that individual is considered while making decisions until the end of the year.

The red dabs symbolize bravery, solidarity, and blood. The white tone promotes virtue, well-being, and peace. The orange and yellow tones signify the sky and energy, while the blue indicates the sky and energy. “”Green addresses wellbeing and land, whereas “dark” addresses people groups and the struggles they face. During their local area tours, tourists also visit the neighboring market, where they move through the slow motion and interact with the merchants, as well as the art and craftsmanship shops where the Maasai display their traditional antiques. The travel sector has had a significant impact on the Maasai, who work as guides for tourists, laborers at the convenience offices in Tarangire National Park, and officials.
