The Maasai nomadic people live in bomas and work as goat and cattle herders. In the Maasai society, wealth and success are measured in terms of herd ownership. This way of life extends to their diet, which consists mainly of cattle and goat products such as meat, blood and milk. Maasai men are divided by age into groups child, junior warrior and senior warrior, junior elder and senior elder. The young men must be initiated into warrior hood before they can marry. It is also traditional practice that both men and women are circumcised.
