Life in the Crater

This is a boy from the Maasai Tribe in Tanzania. The Massai tribe raise their livestock and cattle in and near the Ngorongoro Crater, as they are the only people permitted to walk here. Cattle and livestock are considered currency, so this is a pretty big responsibility for such a young boy. Large animals like zebra and elephants also roam free in the area.
