A Smiling Maasai Girl Leaning on Straw and Dung Wall of Hut

Maasai are easily found in areas of Tanzania; some are open to having tourists visit them. In one village, a Maasai woman invited us to go inside her family hut. Inside it was dark, dirty and very cramped. However, our hostess seemed satisfied with it. As I exited the hut, I saw this girl watching us.
