It is good to have your own Maasai warrior as your new BFF when walking around Zanzibar. The robes and tinkling bracelets and necklaces are one thing. The humongous double-edged 18 inch knife and the black club with one end the size of a tennis ball gives one a second thought if larceny is on your mind. The knife does not come out for just anything. We are talking about lions, tigers and a serious human situation. The club is for “little things.” I did not push the conversation further.
Nayay and Wescott
His name is Nayai and he now lives in Austin TX and is a friend of Lisa and Cliff, of course. He is here now and in full dress and I for one will try to be no more than a swing away from his side. Actually, everyone is really friendly but, hey, his proximity is well appreciated.
Just to put it into perspective, all the Maasai we have seen so far carry cell phones as well.
